Identified on the reverse side:
L-R: Guy Jarrett - Arkansas; Charles Ephland - Missouri; John Harrison - California (Benicia); Gerald Proctor - California.
Harrison was killed when his ship (SS John Burke) was hit by a Kamikaze plane. We could assume but don't know if the others were also on the same ship.Collection
