This image was obviously cut from a yard long photo that was depicted Paris Island, South Carolina in June 29, 1919.

One more unnamed WW I era Marine sporting a leather garrison belt with a revolver and presumably a pouch for cartridges (?).

The array of booze next to the Marine, which includes a vintage bottle of Schlitz.

 

The other bottle is labled Puerto Plata - Is Dominican Republic. So maybe this was taken in the DR?
