Identity of Inchon photographer- 1950?

Here you can talk about whatever floats your boat. Your favorite movie, sports team, etc. If it's a little racey, I suggest you post in R&R, otherwise we'll move it for you.

Identity of Inchon photographer- 1950?

Post by Armchair General »

I'm trying to find out the identity of the photographer who took the famous picture of Baldomero Lopez going over the sea wall at Inchon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

More than likely a Marine combat correspondent or combat photographer.

The photo credit places it as a U.S. Marine Corps photo under the Naval Historical Center, which is under the Naval History & Heritage Command.

If a name exists, a good bet is to contact the NHHC or the National Archives ... they'll have it.
