Waiting for the Explosion
Image
Three war correspondents, (left to right), Bob Eunson of Associated Press, Ralph Boyce of YANK Army Weekly magazine and Robert Doyle of the Milwaukee Journal, joke around at Wards Drome (5 Mile), an airfield near Port Moresby, New Guinea (present day Papua New Guinea). They are sitting on what appear to be bombs and are plugging their ears, waiting for the explosion. Doyle is also holding a sledge hammer to his head. Robert Doyle notes that this photograph was taken by Sergeant Dick Hanley of YANK, the Army Weekly magazine, with Doyle's camera.
