BATTLE FATIGU is mirrored in the stark, staring eyes of this marine painted against the background of "Bloody Nose Ridge," a mile-long jagged cliff which was the strongest J-- redoubt on Peleliu. Lea's notes tell this man's story: "Last evening he came down out of the hills. Told to get some sleep, he found a shell crater and slumped into it. He's awake now. First light has given his gray face eerie color. He left the States 31 months ago. He was wounded in his first campaign. He has had tropical diseases. There is no food or water in the hills except what you carry. He half-sleeps at night and gouges J--- out of holes all day. Two thirds of his company has been killed or wounded but he is still standing. So he will return to attack this morning. How much can a human being endure?" Copyrighted material
