War Patrol #7 and Japanese Surrender at Tokoy Bay.

Comments by Leo "Doc" Carter: "Capt. Joe as most of us remember him. An extremely down to earth person. I think this was taken at a beer ball game just after we got back to Pearl. Joe was in cap and tie, and Dave Bunting, the XO, on Joe's right was in a tie also. The crewman just over Joe's right shoulder is "Cactus" Yotter TM1 who died many years ago. Doc"
