EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Korean War, we are transported back to 1952 on a battlefield in Korea. The image captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos and tension of war as the crew of a 105mm Howitzer with the First Marine Division engage in a friendly game of checkers. Cpl. Oswaldo Nira, hailing from Texas, sits on the left side of the frame while Pfc. Samuel B. Fielder from Maryland occupies the right side. Both soldiers appear deep in thought as they carefully consider their next moves. As these brave men strategize over artillery fuse caps turned makeshift checkers pieces, a telephoneman stands nearby observing their game with interest. It is evident that even amidst such dire circumstances, moments like these provide much-needed relief and camaraderie for those serving on the frontlines. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only the resilience and adaptability displayed by American troops during times of conflict but also highlights their ability to find solace and normalcy amid unimaginable circumstances. The image encapsulates both the humanity and strength exhibited by these soldiers during one of history's most significant wars - an enduring testament to their unwavering spirit and determination to prevail against all odds.
