On board USS Juneau (CL-52) at the time of her commissioning ceremonies at the New York Navy Yard, 14 February 1942. All were lost with the ship following the 13 November 1942 Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.

The brothers are (from left to right): Joseph, Francis, Albert, Madison and George Sullivan.

They used that picture in a rather macabre poster that said "THEY did their part". One of those things the War Department got away with in the 1940s that would cause an international outrage if they attempted today.
