Elvis Presley Began His Army Hitch this Day 1958

Elvis Aron Presley official became #53310761 this day as he began his United States Army hitch. Because he was working on the film King Creole at the time, the original induction date of January 20, 1958 was back to March 24, 1958. His fans were not without new music, as numerous songs were recorded in advance and released over that two-year period in the service. Below is some silent film from that very day.
