US soldiers in WWII

I found that picture in wikipedia.

It shows some sailors of the US-Costguard in the south pacific during the war on a AA Gun. They have no Uniform an the gunner has no boots?

Looks really poor to me. Was that normal? I can't remember that the german sailors during the war where in that bad shape.

The South Pacific? It's probably eighty degrees Fahrenheit with humidity to match in that picture.

Even the U-Boat sailors were allowed that privilege of shedding the uniform from time to time.

Post a link to the actual article.

WW2? South Pacific?

You sure that's not Korean War era Southeast Asia?

Appears these men are operating in a subtropical environment. This they would be permitted to wear cooler clothing.

the shoes seem lax however. either this is some sort of exercise, or the beat to battle stations got these guys out of bed.

compare to these u-boat men conducting loading activities in tropical summer heat

It must be positively sweltering hot in this guys theater of operations.
