James Tobin by exhibit on Ernie Pyle

Title: James Tobin by exhibit on Ernie Pyle
Description: James Tobin posing for a photo next to an image of Ernie Pyle in an exhibit. Below the image of Ernie Pyle is the following information: "On April 18, 1945, soldiers plant a sign on the Pacific island of Ie Shima: 'At this spot the 77th Infantry Division lost a buddy.' Killed there by a Japanese sniper was Ernest Taylor Pyle (1900-1945), who wrote about GIs, their socks and field rations, their letters home, their death. Pyle's Scripps-Howard column has real-people appeal. Says President Truman: 'No person in this war has so well told the story.'"
