cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 10:53 am The holder of this "snorter" marked crossing the intersection of the IDL & the equator on July 11, 1943, on the obverse. Recrossing the same point in the Central Pacific on December 29, 1943, is noted on the reverse. Perhaps this sailor (or Marine) was assigned to a ship involved in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign. . . Edited by cptbilly 08/04/2023 1:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 2:21 pm Only two signatures that I can positively identify. Raymond J Reddick (second from right) was a Carpenter that was assigned to the USS Whitney immediately prior to the dates on this note. 1st Lt. William H. Kay USMC (just to the right of Washington) was assigned to an air defense unit (the 2nd Airdrome Battalion) at this time. Report this Post to the Staff
