Seeking help with identifying players on a WWII photo

[Chris-Counts]

Hi all,

Here's a photo I recently picked up of a team that played in Hawaii during WWII. I've looked at all the rosters I can find online, and this appears to be a team that represented the U.S. Navy's Aiea Barracks, although I can find no roster that matches it completely — I suppose players got shuffled around a lot because a war was going on.

I'm seeking second opinions on all those who I have attempted to identify, and any other IDs that anybody can come up with. So far, I believe I see Bill Dickey, Johnny Vander Meer, Bob Lemon, Fred Hutchinson, Whitey Platt and Billy Herman. I realize it's possible that who I have ID'd as Bill could be his brother, George. It appears these guys were all in the Navy and in Hawaii during '44 and/or '45.

Any and all help is very much appreciated,

Chris

I agree with the Bob Lemon ID, first group of three pic, middle.

Looks like Fred Hutchenson in the second photo down on the left.

I just learned that Lemon and Hutchinson were elsewhere in 1944, so this has to be from 1945. It turns out that Pellegrini and McCosky played there in 1944, but not in 1945. I also found this, which mentions four of the guys I believe I see in the photo.
