The Picture of Ernie Pyle was taken
in Saipan and the weapon was Not his, he was not allowed to carry a
weapon as a foreign war correspondent. One of the guys in my
Dad's squad handed him with the weapon. I also hoped you could
make out the inscription at the lower right corner. If you
can not, of course I know it by heart "To Eddie Shaboo the
greatest little Jap fighter this Seabee Correspondent ever met."
