An Australian stretcher bearer helps a wounded German soldier at the Battle of Messines.
During operations at Messines between 7 and 11 June 1917 the Australian Army Medical Corps personnel of the 3rd Australian Division assisted some 3000 ‘walking wounded’ cases. When these men reached so-called ‘collecting posts’ well behind the front line they were given hot drinks and something to eat and then moved on as quickly as possible out of the operational area.

An ‘Old Hare’ moves among the rubble of Stalingrad. Autumn, 1942
Supposedly, this soldier belonged to Infanterie-Regiment 208, 79. Infanterie-Division, and the photo was shot in the metallurgical plant ''Red October'', October 1942.
The bearing and appearance of this seasoned German soldier portraits well the titanic struggle that was taking place in the Soviet Union at the time.
Given that he is carrying two rifles and a mg ammo case, this soldier was most probably part of a mg 34 team.

Battle of Saipan between 15 June and 9 July 1944.
On June 15, 1944, during the Pacific Campaign of World War II (1939-45), U.S. Marines stormed the beaches of the strategically significant Japanese island of Saipan, with a goal of gaining a crucial air base from which the U.S. could launch its new long-range B-29 bombers directly at Japan’s home islands. Facing fierce Japanese resistance, Americans poured from their landing crafts to establish a beachhead, battle Japanese soldiers inland and force the Japanese army to retreat north. Fighting became especially brutal and prolonged around Mount Tapotchau, Saipan’s highest peak, and Marines gave battle sites in the area names such as “Death Valley” and “Purple Heart Ridge.” When the U.S. finally trapped the Japanese in the northern part of the island, Japanese soldiers launched a massive but futile banzai charge. On July 9, the U.S. flag was raised in victory over Saipan.
