A Random Act of Kindness

This is a rather large piece of Trench Art. A coconut shy possibly made in the Pacific Islands or in New Zealand by the Marines. Hirohito (is it?) takes the most important middle circle with Mussolini and Hitler on either side of him. It was apparently on the back of a truck and the Marines threw small sand filled leather balls to knock them down. I'm looking for wartime photos of it.
