The average GI in World War II carried a rifle, had military
support, was committed to whatever action his unit was engaged in,
and often had time to rest and regroup before advancing.
Conversely, the combat photographer had his camera, a sidearm, and
a jeep, was sent wherever there was fighting to document what was
happening. He often saw the worst of the war. Charles Eugene
Sumners, a still photographer in the 166th Signal Photo Company,
offers his memories--some sad, some life-changing, some happy, but
many horrendous--of World War II in this work. With the aid of
hundreds of his photographs reproduced in this book, he remembers
Camp Crowder, Missouri, the trip overseas, Ireland, England, other
combat photographers, the events at Saint L, Nehou, Avranches,
Paris, Reims, Nancy and others in France and Belgium, the Battle of
the Bulge, Saar and the Moselle Triangle, refugees, Germany under
Hitler, General Patton at the Rhine, conflicts in Germany, the 6th
Armored Division, labor camps, POWs, graves registration,
souvenirs, the end of the war, going home, his friend Russ Meyer,
and going back to Europe after the war.
