The figure in the photograph is clad in Army fatigues, boots and helmet, lying on his back in peaceful repose, folded hands holding a military cap. Except for a thin trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, he could be asleep. But he is not asleep; he is dead, he was killed by a Japanese machine gun bullet on the island of Ie Shima on April 18, 1945. And this is not just another fallen GI; it is Ernie Pyle, the most celebrated war correspondent of World War II. Sixty-three years after Pyle was killed by the Japanese, it surfaced - surprising historians, reminding a forgetful world of a humble correspondent who artfully and ardently told the story of a war from the foxholes.
