he looks so peaceful in that pic, but it’s hard imagine it would have been.

The place this fall in the timeline it would have been in the thick of the fighting so I don’t think it would have been all that peaceful. You can’t tell though he has such a peaceful look on his face. Maybe it was peaceful in his mind.

A fabulous example of a serviceman at rest. Such a contrast to his job. I love these sorts of photos.
