With a captured Jap battle flag prominently displayed, these Coast Guardsmen watch the shoreline recede as the Coast Guard-manned invasion transport on which they are serving leaves after its second trip to the Leyte beachhead. Left to right, the men are: Coast Guardsman Floyd Hewitt, 729 Second Avenue, Baraboo; Coast Guardsman Combat Photographer Rene J. Prevost, of 2360 North Humboldt Avenue, Milwaukee; Carl E. Peshel, 2431 West Capitol Drive Milwaukee. The Coast Guardsmen all are veterans of the invasions of the Marshalls, Guam, Peleliu as well as Leyte.
