Suzanne Paris is a war baby whose father was killed when she was too little to remember him. The men of Company F of the 20th Engineers (Forestry) saw her photograph and decided that anything that looked just like Jeanne would be a good mascot and they promptly annexed her. In the photo she looks unhappy because she thought that the photographer had come to take away her soldier Uncle who was home on permission.
