Artillery of the Ist Division, U.S. Marines, waiting on Aotea Quay in Wellington in July, 1942. After a brief stop in New Zealand the Marines went on to fight fiercely contested battles to capture the Japanese-held island of Guadalcanal. The Marines were not impressed by Wellington’s weather, or by a strike by waterside workers as ships were being loaded. The illustration is from “The Yanks are Coming,” reviewed today.
