"City Hall Wilkes Barre, PA." printed in center lower margin.

Sharp clear color and in very good condition.
Striding through knee-deep water, Marines hold their rifles above their heads as they come ashore. Landing craft and destroyers in the background hint at the scope of the mission these Marines are on and the heroic tone is well portrayed by Flagg.
