TRENTONIAN’s crew “blow off some steam.” With continuous operations in support of the invasion and no shore leave the men decide to have a party in the form of a wedding. Reading from the “Good Book of Seamanship,” Raymond Lounsbury in the black toque acts as Padre with Joe Gosskie behind him, Jim Rickard is the groom with his back facing the camera, the mop top bride was Stan Bennett and the ring bearer is Wilfred Thompson. Tom Farrell is in the right corner.
