“Night Landing on New Britain”, LIFE, Watercolors by David Fredenthal, August 21, 1944 (cont. 4)
A Wounded Man, grievously hit during the beach strafing, is carried to an aid
station by his comrades.
A Dead Soldier lies on the beach and the blue-white surf begins to wash over his legs.
He was unloading boxes from landing craft, was caught before he could find shelter
from strafing planes.
