Stevens BM2, aka "BUGEYE"; at the bottom left, Holtshowzer BM1; middle, "RED DOG" the GUNNERS MATE, Holding what looks like is a bottle of Jack Daniels, Lemaun Larson has the Japanese fellow's arm around his neck; Ed Brown has the Japanese guy's elbow in his neck; Young, with the beer in his hand and me are on Browns right. I can't remember the guy at bottom center, a BM2, nor the two guys top center or the guy between me and Stevens. I think we were in the "BAR NAGASAKI."
