Monkey picture: The Marines of the 2nd Marine Division of the US Navy are resting by staging a tug-of-war competition. One of the days of rest during the fighting in the Pacific.
Monkey picture named “Eight Ball”, the unofficial mascot of the division, supports one of the teams. True, it did not help them to win – the opponents were stronger and soon after this picture was taken, the fighters in the foreground flew into a pit of water.
