Wounded Marine officer, Second Lieutenant Wilfred S. LeFrancois, on board USS Nautilus (SS-168), after he had been evacuated from Makin Island, 18 August 1942. This appears to be the submarine's wardroom. Note bookshelves at right, communications equipment and clock on bulkhead, and rack of magazines (containing at least two copies of "Esquire").
