U.S. soldier pausing for a break while sitting on an unexploded 16 inch naval shell, at Saipan 1944.

Removed caption read: He may have started out sitting on a dud 16-inch Navy shell, enjoying a smoke whlie emptying sand from his "boondockers," but by the end of the campaign, three weeks later, he had had too little sleep, too many fire fights, and too many buddies dead.
