HMS Victorious Pictures from Pacific Tour 1945

These are pictures from the collection of a good friend in the Royal Marines from a long time ago. I Scanned these at a fairly high resolution directly from the originals so that some good friends in the Marines could share them. They are to important to be left unseen and they show the terrific bonds the crews shared during those terrible times.

The title of each picture will be as the 1945 album captions giving a brief description of the content.
