Duncan in the top and pants, together with a hat, a tally inscribed USS Indianapolis, together with six original photographs dated July, 1944, all taken by USS Indianapolis photographers - three by Sedivi, two by Hammen and one by Stivender, all listed as deceased in the submarine attack, W. H. Duncan purportedly became very ill while the ship was transporting the nuclear bomb Little Boy and was left at Tinian Island to recover, thus he was not onboard when the ship was hit by Japanese torpedoes.
