Hello,

I've puzzled for years over the identity of this Marine. I've several photos of him in what appear to be after action inspections of battle sights. I believe the photos to have been taken in the vicinity of the Piva Trail on Bougainville. Is there a chance that it is Mr. Cy O'Brien ? Thanks in advance for your assistance!
