In 1943, 21 years old and recently drafted, Tony Vaccaro applied to the U.S. Army Signal Corps, with an aim to photograph the war. While told he was too young, he took his Argus camera onto the field with him as he fought with the 83rd Infantry Division, serving as both a combat soldier and a photographer who would snap close to 8,000 photographs of the war as it unfolded around him. Here, Vaccaro returns to the sites and photographs that framed his young life.
