This is not 3/6 on 11-22-43. This is 2/2 on 11-20-43. The Photographer is in a rubber boat along the pier (pier is to the right). Corporal Bill Bennett is in the center of this photo and he was from D 2/18 assigned to F/2/2. This was the fourth wave about 10am on 11-20-43. The Niminoa wreck is visible on the high res. version of this photo, proving it is Red 2 and not Green Beach. Brent Peterson/Bill Bennett biographer; 815-325-0707
