Note: the upper part of this photograph has been badly
damaged, possibly by water. The Marine Corps photograph collection
was subject to periodic flooding when it was located in a low-lying
area behind Henderson Hall (Arlington, Virginia) during the 1960s
and 1970s, resulting in loss of many historic images and damage
to others. |
