"Barbed Wire Sailor"

I have no idea who this sailor is. The photo is in the collection of the Kailua Public Library, and had no restrictions noted on it. It does show the barbed wire defense that was put up on the entire perimeter of Oahu.

You can also see a man in the background with a bathing suit on and a towel over his shoulder. The barbed wire is an indicator of the very real threat of a landing by the enemy Japanese. Until the Battle of Midway, and the victory over the Japanese fleet, people in Hawaii realistically prepared for a land invasion.
