A group of MP's grabs a bite of chow, protected by camouflage netting, while on field assignment. The 7th Military Police Company (Prov.) - the Army's first pentomic MP company - was on a five-day field exercise with the 7th Infantry Division, pulling guard duty and local road patrols in the battle-scarred mountains of north-central South Korea. Pictured here is a scan of the original 1958 print created by Stars and Stripes Pacific's photo department to run in the print newspaper. The red marks indicate the crop lines. Only the middle part of the image would appear in the newspaper. As the vast majority of pre-1964 Stars and Stripes Pacific negatives and slides were unwittingly destroyed by poor temporary storage in 1963, the prints developed from the late 1940s through 1963 are the only images left of Stripes' news photography from those decades – with the exception the negatives of some 190 pre-1964 photo assignment found recently. Stars and Stripes' archives team is scanning these prints and negatives to ensure their preservation. Looking for Stars and Stripes’ historic coverage?
