Interesting to note people were more concerned with Tagging the types of guns rather than adding 'Native Americans' which comes later.

the used flashbulb in the frame - accidental, or wry commentary on the inauthenticity of govt funded wartime documentary work?
Richard said:
Accidental. There were many combat photographers during this time. People were smart enough to know what is staged and what is not most of the time. There is plenty of authentic government funded war time documentary work. More like photographer was not paying attention.

this is a great shot, but one thing that stics out to me is.. the helmet does not macth up with the M1 Garand. If he was holding a garand he would have a later style helmet, maybe its just cause im a world war 2 nerd haha
