I might have posted this previously but here is some of the radiomen from H&S Co presumably in New Zealand. My dad is center with no cover. What do you guys think? Is this New Zealand or stateside near San Diego?

Imposible to say about the name of the tank. It does have a recognition feature which is the single stretch of wire around the center of the turret. I think that CHICAGO had such a wire. Almost certainly one of those originally disabled at that beach. Which is definitely RED BEACH ONE. If you look at the far right of the photo you can see dead Marines hanging in a barbed wire fence. To the right, behind them, is the nose of an LVT-1 which in other photos turns out to be IRON MIKE. Definitely RED BEACH ONE guys.

Tide way out. Have not seen this picture. Attaching aerial. I think with all those tracs out there that this is R-1. Cecilia, Count and Chicago were over there. Tried to use contrast to see the name but cannot make it out. Thanks for sharing! Adding to my picture library.

Assuming this is Red Beach 2. I cant quite make out the name of the tank. Also note Sadu Maru in the background.

Did you check Fold 3 for these documents?

Idk. The location in your photo looks very far away from the runway to be part of the 127mm installation on Black Beach. But maybe the camera is really playing tricks with the depth perception or I'm missing something.

Does anyone know if the following JICPOA documents are available online somewhere? Or do I need to make a trip to College Park, MD?

The location looks like the remnants of the fire control tower for the (2) 8in guns on the SW tip.
