Title: "And Let the Rest of the World Roll By"
Description: Photo #: NH 97083 And Let the Rest of the World Roll By The thoughts of Arthur James Yettke, aviation boatswain's mate, third class, USN, are far from the realities of war as he catches a few winks while waiting for striking planes to return home. 'Home', for the present, is the escort carrier USS Rendova (CVE-114) now operating off the coast of Korea with the Marine 'Devilcats' Squadron. Photograph and caption released by Commander Naval Forces Far East, under date of 20 October 1951. His bed, and the surroundings, consist of .50 caliber machine gun ammunition in wooden crates, ammunition cans and unpackaged in links. Crates are marked with both Navy Bureau of Ordnance crossed cannon and Army Ordnance flaming bomb. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the All Hands collection at the Naval History and Heritage Command.
