The Marine on the left holding the coffee cup is definately Faris "Bob" Tuohy. He is a client of mine living in Ohio. I have a signed copy of this picture in my office. From what I understand the other 2 Marines in this picture did not live through the end of the war.

The identity of the person in the photograph is corporal Francis Brogan and I am surprised to see the identity as someone else! What is the source of information for this picture?
