Description: This original photo is from a collection of photos from a soldier named Jim who served in World War II with the 125th Radio Intelligence Co, 41st Division. They were responsible for intercepting, analyzing, and decoding enemy communications. Jim's photos span the period of 1944-1945. All photos appear to have been taken by him or his friends, and very well could be one of a kind images. Some have stamps on their backs showing they were cleared by military censors, and others appear to have been developed in the U.S. after the war. Type & Size: A 3x4.5in original photograph. Condition: Good to fair condition. Some of these images have dented edges or missing corners from age and their prior life in a 1940s scrapbook. Please see photos. The photograph captures a soldier standing somberly by a memorial stone dedicated to Ernie Pyle, a renowned war correspondent who reported on World War II. The image is set on the island of Le Shima in August 1945, illustrating a poignant moment of remembrance for those lost in battle. The soldier's posture and the monument together evoke the gravity of the sacrifices made during the war. Ernie Pyle was celebrated for his vivid reporting and personal accounts from the front lines, providing a voice to the experiences of soldiers. He was killed by enemy fire in April 1945 while covering the battle for Okinawa. This memorial, placed where the 77th Infantry Division lost a comrade, underscores the personal connection soldiers had with their correspondents and the impact of their words on the public?s understanding of the war.
