14 Dec 2024 Garand Picture of the Day

[Mark in Rochester]

[RAM1ALASKA]

The medic on the left looks like he's either hit
Or trying to get real small.....

But...the pic is taken toward friendly lines from the downrange area? Always makes me suspect a staging. Two guys at the back corner of the tank are unconcerned?

Jim
you assume the direction of friendly lines perhaps it is a situation similar to image depicted below troops crossing an exposed area

[Bob Seijas]

A bit heavy maybe?

Not really, the two guys at the back of the tank are strolling head down. Then there's this other a few feet away. Then the photog standing still to shoot. If the fire is left/right, then why are the two at the back of the tank not worried...

[Mark in Rochester]

Because they are behind a building,much like the attached photo the soldier is standing there while the other is running across the,street. Not all photos are staged
Could the photographer also be behind a building.we will never know

Could the photographer also be behind a building

Possibly. The actions of the medic look absolute, wish we knew where the fire was coming from.
