Remember these Faces
"[A] U.S. Navy production which tells how American lives are being saved on the battlefields. It is the story of the courage and sacrifice of the members of the medical force who go ashore with the troops in invasion. With its action beginning on a Pacific Island, newly taken by our fighting men, the camera follows the wounded from the front line to battalion aide stations, to evacuation hospitals, to transports, and finally to hospital ships and giant aircraft which will rush them to base hospitals and the world's best medical aid." ("The Seventh War Loan Drive Is On!" Educational Screen, May, 1945, 194.)

Photography Fights
<span>"This picture shows how photography is helping to win the war. It shows how under enemy action photographic crews work precious minutes getting and scanning pictures to search for signs of enemy emplacements and evidence of his movements. It shows what happens when well trained, discerning photographic interpreters can read from pictures shot by the crew."
