content: A three-quarters portrait of William Herren depicted as First Sergeant. An oil painting on an illustration board. A white man, William Herren has brown hair and gray eyes. He is wearing a brown officers tunic. There is two collar insignias, but the insignias are not detailed making it difficult to identify the insignia. He is seen holding a trench gas mask which according to the back of the painting, it is the Sergeant's "friend". He seems to have two military ribbons and one medal, but the painting of the ribbons and the medal is not very crisp. The two military ribbons might be Philippine Campaign and Mexican Border Service. The medal might be the Distinguished Service Cross, but it is brown. A beige band can be seen on the Sergeant's left hand possibly indicating a ring. The bottom portion of the portrait is not sketched or painted in great detail. The sergeant's signature can be seen on the upper left portion of the portrait.
