Bob and Jack Phillips (no relation) on Great Sitkin Island about 12/43. Bob is 22 years old.

Picture dated: 6/25/1942. Caption on back "Do you recognize the car?" Jean and Ken also had this same picture with "Ray" as the caption on the back. A prime example of the first grandchild, first nephew, and first son born in a family.....EVERYONE....had this picture!
