Army Private Arnold Groveman found himself peering out of one of the great pictures of the European War. In September, 1943, a Coast Guard combat photographer clicked his shutter on four G.I. Joes hugging the blazing beach of Salerno, Italy, under heavy bombing attack by German planes. The guy, minus the helmet, was Private Groveman. He wrote to his sister "That's Me, Sis- Behind Me, That' A Bomb"
