Title	Nothing like a spot of coffee
Description	Title from verso . Photograph of a corporal sharing coffee with another soldier. Verso reads : "Nothing like a spot of coffee, particularly on bleak Attu! Corporal Carl Gompf (left) of Marion, O., and Colonel R.G. F[P]erusson (right) of Oakland know that better than we do. Note Corporal Gompf's big mittens, Colonel P[F]erusson's ha[n]d pulled in his sleeve, for warmth, and both men's scarves." Handwritten notes on verso name the individuals as CPL. Carl Gompe and COL. R. G. Ferusson. Dark marks have been placed on the image, presumably to add highlight and contrast to the image.
