It was interesting to see an article on American Ernie Pyle in list of famous war correspondents in a UK weekend newspaper, in fact he topped the list!
Ernie was'nt interested so much in strategies and orders of battle, but more in the ordinary GI's in the field. Over the last nine years of my interest in WWII research I have come across him on many occasions. It is poignient to remember he was killed by Japanese machine gun fire, reporting as ever from the front line.
