The Pittsburgh Press (October 27, 1942)

Marines look over bodies of Japs on the beach at Guadalcanal Island in the Solomons following a disastrous attempt by the enemy to land reinforcements. But other Japs did land and push into the jungles, mostly at night, the Navy admitted. These Marines smashed many Jap landing forces as U.S. airmen blasted enemy ships and landing barges.

Looks like coloured remastered foto? Is it original?

I colorized it, Val. It’s pretty par for the course. My intent was to cover the news in 1942 in a way that would be closer to, say, 2002 (with some minor differences, of course)
