The Colonel Sets Net -- A minor misfortune overtook Lieut. Gen. Thomas Holcomb's party while making an inspection of Guadalcanal. Here an unnamed colonel in the Marine commandants party is being fished out of a river after losing his footing while getting Ashore from a rubber boat. The Navy caption with the picture said no Marine laughed -- at least out loud. November 22, 1942. (Photo by AP Wirephoto).
