Happy Days!
Image
A photograghic card created by Robert Doyle to wish friends and family "Iamu Mwasawa!" A smiling, quarter-length portrait of Robert Doyle in uniform appears in the upper left corner. In the lower right, an upset indigenous toddler wearing a banner around his middle with 1944 pasted on it stands next to some foliage, and holds a pair of sunglasses in his hands. The text on the card reads "Iamu Mwasawa! That's how this baby on Kiriwina Island (if he were in a better mood) would join me in wishing you...Happy Days!" The photo of the child was taken on Kiriwina Island in the Solomon Sea, New Guinea (present day Papua New Guinea).
