Description

Aboard a Coast Guard-manned assault transport headed for the invasion of Guam, two Marine Devil Dogs are spruced up in a bucket of suds for inspection. The dogs, Snafu at left and Atoll at right, were born during the invasion of the Marshalls and were trained to serve as scouts and carry messages in battle. The washers are Coast Guardsman James J. Iles (left), storekeeper third class of Oneida, NY, and Marine Private First Class Charles B. West, Jr.
