Remember how on Page 8 many of the photos were yellowed?
Here on Page 9, one photo is yellowed. Perhaps a started roll of film was left in a locker for a month, and so damaged by heat or light. I can readily imagine the bosses making off with and stowing all personal cameras for the duration of soldiers' stay on Santa Catalina Island. With no satellites in orbit, there was a chance to maintain visual security.

Here they are, leaving the island. It did not take our EJZ long to finish the roll and pop in a new one.
The names of the four companions and their Sergeant we learned in the Travel Orders post:
Tec 5 Jack N. Hammond 20 527 564
Pfc Peter R. Beckett 36 645 366
Pfc Marcello G. Rotundo 12 138 361
Pfc Eugene J. Zdrojewski 42 021 053
Pvt Howard C. Lyon 37 896 (or maybe 096 - JZ) 032
I've been reading ahead a bit, and have not found any of the other four names in lists of members of Team Jackal. So maybe this was a training group, with the men reassigned individually, later.

| So, Dad, who are your friends? |

| Well, at least two of them display good judgement, whether in taking a proper nap or engaging that chin strap on the hat. |
