DescriptionErnie Pyle sits on sandbags beside a man named Jack in front of Quonset huts, likely in Guam. Both men are seated with one leg propped up on the sand bags. They are both wearing khaki military fatigues. The metal hut behind them has a canvas curtain pulled away from the entry. A wire is connected to the hut and hangs over the men. Ernie Pyle has written on the back of the photograph, "Jack and me -- his Quonset hut behind us."
