Description

Who were the Camera Soldiers? Part fiction, part fact, this book explores the answer to that question.
They're behind every foot of motion picture film we see of WW II today, and every still photograph in the history books. We NEVER see them but we see the biggest war in human history through their eyes.
More than a few died, to whom this book is dedicated. In most cases; they were paid no more than $100 a month. Their room -- a hole in the ground -- and board, a tin of meat and vegetable hash twice a day, cold; and medical care -- the nearest Medical Aide Man -- was FREE.
In the Pacific Area of the war they had eight "close friends": a Government Issue Colt .45 pistol; a steel helmet; a camera with its film supply; their team mate (movie or still photographer); a small folding shovel; the poncho, a rubberized cape that doubled as raincoat and sometime tent; a canteen of water; and a spare pair of dry, clean socks.
The Camera Soldiers portrayed in this story were real. Their names have been changed to protect their privacy. Other characters were added to enliven the plot.
Descriptions of the two invasions of Leyte Island are as accurate as the author's memory can recall. He was a Camera Soldier who was there.
