Reply to Can anybody put any context to this photo? My mom sent this to me of my great grandfather who was a Marine but that’s about all she knew. 1930’s? by SgtSoggySock
Royal or Canadian Marines? By their age and dress my guess is that this a brigade or battalion officer’s group photo and most of these men are lieutenants or captains with the two booted in the front row center being majors, although there does appear to be a few Sargent in the front row as well.

Reply to Ted Koppel, 1980. Nightline started as a daily update during the Iran hostage crisis. In the decades after Walter Cronkite retired, Koppel continued the practice of thorough, factual reporting. by L0st_in_the_Stars
Factual? Well, maybe when he started but he's certainly let his own political bias bleed into his reporting since.
