Description
This black and white image is of Lupe Nevarez (on the left) and an older U.S. soldier placing a reef on a memorial tomb stone. Both are wearing military uniforms and cap, with the older man's cap reading "Riverside No. 28 Calif." Nevarez's cap also has words on it, but it can't be seen fully in the photo. The engraving on the stone is faint.
