BAR - I saw that as well. I haven't made up my mind if that's a helmet cover or the actual helmet. Take note of the wrinkles approx. 4" behind the hole. I took the photo up in magnification and see no sign of blood /bleeding on the face beneath the Helmet (cover?) hole.I say he's very much alive if not a posed picture. No other casulty,s or folks around. Nice scenic view of the Naval flotilla in background. Yup I,m thinking posed.
