Close-up photograph of PFC Henry H. West, Jr. posing on an Alaskan shoreline while stationed in the Aleutian Islands. Henry H. West, Jr. stands at center, facing slightly left, and gazes past the camera. In one hand he holds a soda bottle and in the other he holds what looks like either a piece of bread or an apple. A sandy shore stretches horizontally behind him. Beyond the shore, a body of water stretches into the distance.
