LOOK! The beer cooler has shrapnel damage.

It's down to 97 degree Old Milwaukee.


Looks like the runway repair will have to wait.....





Must be the support guys for the PBY's. Don't think there are any other Navy personnel on Tanna is wwii(e). It's not Old Milwaukee...not sure what it is.

Hmmm. Probably a relabeled brand of Old Milwaukee out of the PI. If I had to guess a product of M&M Enterprises.

You may not get this till we make Pearl but I have become a real sailor on our dangerous journey from Manila. Tomorrow, the Chief is going to let me manage the below deck part of the purge and refill of the fire fighting system. Well, gotta go. Mom, Talk to you soon.

During World War II, Hudepohl Beer was among the beers selected by the War Department for use by U.S. troops in the Pacific. Special olive green Crowntainer cans, produced by Crown Cork and Seal Company, but bearing a Hudepohl label, were filled at the Cincinnati brewery then packed in cases with straw before being shipped overseas. Many cases of Hudepohl Beer were actually parachuted to troops on islands throughout the Pacific.

Meanwhile back at Noumea seems the HQ beer stash was exposed during the bombardment, the rank and file will make sure it is safe. Wait a second - this isn't Hudepuhl! (Hard to believe this was a real advertisement.)
