Scenes from Grande Island
A 10" coastal defense gun guarding the mouth of
Subic Bay in the Phillppines on Grande Island. The
enlisted men's club was also on the island and
there were many teenage hostesses from the
mainland to sit and talk with the servicemen. They
were very well chaperoned
Monkey Island was located to the seaward side of
Grande Island and at low tide you could walk out to
the little island
"Casa Isla Grande", the Navy EM (enlisted men's)
club on Grande Island near the entrance to Subic
Bay, Phillipines.
