I can't tell who the other guy is, but I can tell you Hodges was a sergeant and saw combat in a Marine Corps Anti-Aircraft artillery unit during the war and Reese was in the Navy but I don't think he served anywhere near a warzone except Hawaii. I don't think they knew each other before 1946 or 1947 so what ever this picture is it wasn't taken during the war. What is the story behind where you got it? They both look older there. This may be a long shot, but I know the Dodgers toured Japan during the winter of 1955-56 so maybe this is from a stop in Okinawa?
