Summary edit

Description 127-GW-902-60243: Guadalcanal Campaign, August 1942-January 1943. Marine Model. Dancer Ray Bolger does his ablutions on a South Pacific island. The Broadway star was photographed in front of the tent of Major Irving “Bob” Kriendler, USMC, New York friend who put him up for the night after Bolger gave his first performance here. Bolger is washing out Kriendler’s steel helmet, with his tooth brush and other toilet articles laid out on an empty mashed potato can nearby. After visiting and playing before service camps in many parts of the South Pacific, Bolger reports that Marines live a “ruggeder” life than any Allied fighters. “They take to the jungle almost as well as natives,” he says. Photographed by Sergeant Angelo Dugo, September 19, 1943. U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/09/13).
