Nicknamed the 'Gruesome Foursome' by the photograph's owner, these four American soldiers -- Crovost, Williams, Leahy, and the photographer -- pause beside a traditional dry-stone wall in England, likely while training or staging in 1944 ahead of deployment to continental Europe. Informal snapshots such as this were treasured keepsakes documenting the camaraderie of men preparing for the campaign ahead. Project: 218603
