The Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall archive black and white photograph, taken March 3, 1966, shows the location of Wright Gate on what was then the North Post of Fort Myer, now the Fort Myer portion of JBM-HH. The color photograph was taken in a similar location on Marshall Dr., near the intersection with the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial Access Rd., in Arlington, Va., March 23.
On the left side of the photograph is a wall bordering Arlington National Cemetery. On the right side of the image is the Netherlands Carillon, a symbolic gift “From the People of the Netherlands to the People of the United States,” as a token of appreciation for aiding the Dutch during World War II, according to the National Park Service. The current location of Wright Gate is further down Marshall Dr., beyond what is shown in the image. The original image was taken by U.S. Army SP-5 Austin T. White, Military District of Washington.
