Looking back into the previous era, in times like the Second World War, (mostly) all coverage of the fighting was done by war correspondents - civilian reporters who went into combat with the regular soldiers.

They are responsible for the famous picture of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima (which was actually the second flag raised, and IIRC that picture was not taken under fire).



I have some very fascinating photos and documentation of WWII war correspondents, if people are interested I might put them in a repo or something.


Please do publish the pictures [and docs]. The more we understand about war, the better.


I'll try to figure out the best way to post them.
