IMO the rubble in the background isn't coloured properly and some of the colours are just off. The Mackinaw jeep coat the guy on the left is wearing doesn't have the right colour either.
Here's my version:

It's weird thinking how closely related they all were. George and Nicholas especially were famous for looking like twins.

Looks like another planet not Earth. I can't wait for the day robots(or humans) will livestream the exploring of planets like Mars in HD. Hearing the sounds...seing it clearly, it would be the closest to actually going there.
Anyways, nowadays, anyone can put a cube satellite in orbit with 80k$, so it might not be a far shot until someone puts a camera on the moon that streams 24/7. I guess it would have a nice audience in Scandinavia, where millions watched those TV streams of trains or vessels passing through the Norwegian landscape for example.

New Georgia. Pvt. Lloyd Culuck, Co. A, 1st Bn., 172nd Inf, gets chow from a can of Ration B on New Georgia Island, SW Pacific. He uses the can lid in lieu of fork or spoon. On the island since the first beachhead was established, he hasn't changed clothes in 12 days.
The Solomon and New Guinea Campaigns were largely led by the Army, much of the media attention however focused on the exploits of the Marines on Guadalcanal Island which was but a small part of a much larger campaign waged by the US Army. The iconic image of jungle fighting originated on the Island of New Guinea where the 32nd Infantry Division were among the very first units deployed from the United States to fight the enemy in the jungle.

I think people in general tend to forget how much the Army was involved in the Pacific and I believe their involvement was only briefly touched in a few moments in the Pacific series that HBO made.
According to the [URL="http://www.nationalww2museum.org/learn/education/for-students/ww2-history/ww2-by-the-numbers/us-military.html"]National WW2 Museum[/URL], by 1945 the Marines only numbered 474,680 men which is miniscule compared to the over 8 million men that the Army had, so there was no way the Marines could've handle some of those campaigns by themselves. I think it's because most people associate the Army with fighting in Europe while they associate the Marines with the Pacific who weren't deployed at all (or at least in significant numbers) in Europe due to fears that they would take all the glory from the Army like they did with WW1.
