Photo from Feb. 17, 1944 Sundance Times count

The above picture was taken in the jungles of New Georgia by a correspondent of "Yank" The Army Weekly, and accompanied a detailed account of "one of the U.S. Army's toughest jungle actions – the 12-day drive from Munda airfield to the sea. The picture appeared in the Oct. 15, 1943 issue of that publication with the caption: "Pfc. Cecil G. Crago of Sundance, WYO., used to work on a ranch. In the New Georgia fight he and his squad came close to being wiped out by the Japanese dual-purpose AA guns."
