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).
