Clover
and World War II
The following pictures of Marines on Maui were sent to me by Matt Wold. <m_wold@yahoo.com> They belonged to his father. Matt is not a Clover, but thought that some of us would enjoy seeing the pictures. His father made notes of the names on the back of the pictures.
There are several Eugene Clovers in my records. However, I suspect that the Gene in the pictures is this one.
