My dad spent a good part of the Battle of Kasserine Pass, in Tunisia, in a fox hole with Ernie Pyle. Dad said you would never know he was there, but every 8th round, when the clip made it’s distinctive ‘ping’ Ernie immediately handed him another clip.

An awfully "neat" looking body for one that was shot in the temple by even a light machine gun round. Although the article does say "left temple", which is the side away from the camera.

Almost looks as if it is posed, perhaps to be used in the event that he did get killed? Wouldn't put it past him. :)
