Note
from Maxie's Niece: He was only there for a little over 3 months before he
died, so the pictures had to be taken sometime just before he died. The film was
undeveloped and came back with the body, in with all of Uncle Maxie's
belongings. His brother is a photographer and only developed 2 of the
pictures 35 years ago and never wanted to see the rest. So early this year, 35
years later after bugging him a lot, he has finally given me the
negatives. For the first time ever, this year all of the pictures were
developed and seen for the first time! I would love to know who all of the
other wonderful men are in the pictures. My uncle was a radio operator and he is
the one in the pictures, sitting on the ground talking on the radio, in the
jungle. He is on the radio, leaned over, looking kind of tired to me. So I hope
you can find out who some of them are I hope you can see someone you know.
