Original – Crew of an M-24 tank along the Naktong River front. On the ground is Pfc. Rudolph Dotts, Egg Harbor City, N.J. gunner (center); Pvt. Maynard Linaweaver, Lundsburg, Kansas, cannoneer; and on top is Pfc. Hugh Goodwin, Decature, Miss., tank commander. All are members of the 24th Reconnaissance, 24th Division.

Reason: An unusual find here: A colored image from the Korean War depicting the crew of an M-24 Chaffee Tank, which supplemented the M4 Sherman tank in the months after the end of World War II. The crew is shown in the early months of the war.

Support Lots of film grain, but for the period, and given it's "in the field", not bad at all. Very clean image - only spotted two specks, and I'm not even entirely sure they shouldn't be there. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 10:28, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Per Adam, altho they're obviously posing for the fotog. Sca (talk) 13:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Per Adam. Very authentic (both image and grainy texture) for the period.--Godot13 (talk) 23:23, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
