Description

In his dispatches he concentrates on the individual-size aftereffect of the battle, representing everybody in the men in a bomber team to Bob Hope on his USO trip and actually battling alongside troops behind enemy lines. Taken together, these documents produce an indelible symbol of life in wartime.
