The identity of the person in the photograph is corporal Francis Brogan and I am surprised to see the identity as someone else! What is the source of information for this picture?

The Marine on the left holding the coffee cup is definately Faris "Bob" Tuohy. He is a client of mine living in Ohio. I have a signed copy of this picture in my office. From what I understand the other 2 Marines in this picture did not live through the end of the war.
