They all took a leak in it.

They did indeed! Apparentely, this is a photo of Patton doing the deed.

This reminds me of the incident where Churchill led Brooke, Monty, Simpson and their retrospective staffs for a mass urination on the Siegfried line. That same night Churchill sneaked of by himself to pee in the Rhine as well. He also had to be 'dragged' away from a bridge a few days later in the midst of snipers, in one of his sad childish moments. Perhaps he really wanted to get killed.

So. guys, is there a question here?

Dean.

Perhaps, we should have a rule that if a question is not asked by the correct answerer within a day, the thread is left open for anybody to ask questions, this may give the opportunity to give a wider audience a chance?

Go for it Dean

Sorry, I have not been around, so I did not see that I had been left the question. Actually, I agree with the 24 hour rule as it would allow others to enter the quiz. However, the asker should give the answer if it is not found so that the quiz is more interesting for all.

Here is a question that is a bit subjective. The most famous photo of the war was taken atop Mount Suribachi by war correspondent Joe Rosenthal during the battle of Iwo Jima. What other photograph, courtesy of the US Navy, also became very well known?

Some clues: 1. In the image, there were no enemy soldiers, ships, aircraft or anything else for that matter.

2. For that matter, there were no Allied anythings in it either.

3. The photo became a symbol that the war was almost over.

4.IIRC, it was published first on the cover of Life Magazine, although it was also published later on in other places..

Good guess, but that was taken after the war, so no, it does not count. Another clue: It was taken from aboard a Navy combat ship, and it showed something very important... to the Japanese!

Dean.

Clue time again: It was an image of a place that was (and is) a strong symbol to the Japanese, and there was an aiming reticle superimposed on it.
the reason that it was important to the American punblic is that it showed that the US Navy could approach this place with impunity, heralding the end of the war.
