USS Pittsburgh (CA-4)
Members of the ship's landing force in a boat, off Shanghai,
China, in 1927.
Note steel helmets and M1910 infantry equipment worn by these
men. Several picks are in evidence, but few spades. Sailor on
the left of the group seated on the gunwale has a non-standard
entrenching axe on his pack. There are also three litter bearers
present (at left), and a number of men of Oriental appearance
on the far side of the boat.
