Urrah!

None of them look very happy about what the higher ups thought was a great idea.

3rd in line outside out of step needs to skip step! Wonder what ol mate is showing the pageant queen in the back ground.
I spy a British Union Jack

Everything I've ever read and even the pictures I've seen didn't present an image like this of Tarawa with abundant palm tree in full foliage.

I'll bet that one of those complete uniforms (get ups) is worth a fortune if any even still exist.

Flag next to the UK Union Jack is the Philippines.

No high heels, and no M1 Garand's.

so is the top picture in Tarawa or the Philippines?
