Photograph published in the 45th Division News, 11 December 1943, Vol. 4, No. 22, Caption "Few GIs come as close to getting their hides punctured as Cpl. John De Marco, Geneva, OH, and live to tell about it. A piece of shrapnel ripped through two raincoats, a field jacket, a shirt, and an undershirt, finally ending up nestled against his skin. Sgt. Emory Hopper, Oklahoma City, right, gives the hole in the raincoat a close look."Made/Created
