The photo belongs to Frank Walton and is pictured in Bruce Gamble’s book “Swashbucklers and Black Sheep”. Buy the book here.
Caption in the book: “Boyington visits with veterans and replacements at the pig roast. From left: Doc Reames, Art Little (adjutant), Denmark Groover, Al Johnson, Rufus Chatham, Glenn Bowers, Greg Boyington, Harry Johnson, Rollie Rinaberger, and Gelon Doswell. Rinaberger, still looking ill, was soon readmitted to the hospital because of blood poisoning.”
They look like they’ve had quite a bit to drink at the pig roast. :D -

Papa Nui’s had another small run of Beach Battalion hats delivered. Inspired by the original issued Daisy Mae of WWII constructed from herringbone twill cotton and featuring USMC frogskin camouflage, no wardrobe should be without one in my opinion!

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.
From London England, relocated to Portland Oregon.
Americana.
