Not a minstrel show but a night patrol across the Roer impels Pvt. Ed Diamond of Rogers' Raiders to put on lamp-blacking.  This job's a lot different from his Army studies in engineering at Purdue ASTP.

An army advances because the individual doughs in the line advance.  Most of them keep movig; some of them fall; others, like Pfc. Joseph F.

Pat Coffey made this photo at the 80th Division field hospital on the Third Army front.
