James H. Porterie Collection

Los Alamos Security Guards

James H. Porterie was a security guard at Los Alamos from late 1946 until late 1947.  Although he completed a three month stint with the military police at Los Alamos, his main duty as a security guard was safe-guarding bomb material anytime it was out of the vault.  Mr. Porterie, who presently resides in Arizona, graciously provided the photos below.

Note:  There are two ways to view the photos in this gallery.  You may "click" on any of the small images below to go to a full-page image along with an expanded caption.  You may also navigate forward and backward from each of the full-page images.
