| Keywords: outdoor monochrome 80-G-216101: Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands. Rain – six, seven, nine, twelve days in a row. Clothes, sheets and tents become limp and soggy with moisture. The nauseating order of pungent mildew permeates everything. Wet laundry cannot be dried. Mosquito-breeding pools and even lakes of stagnant water in every depression. Every man’s spirit goes into a tailspin. Planes cannot get off flooded runaways. As the British say, “We have come to the end of a dry.” Photograph released February 17, 1944. U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/11/25). 80-G-216101: Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands. Rain – six, seven, nine, twelve days in a row.
