The burial of Ernie Pyle. If there ever was a man collectively loved by all in the Military during the Second World War, it was war correspondent Ernie Pyle.An honorary grunt, Pyle was a correspondent known for living and sleeping in the same conditions as the men he reported about and told his stories in an unforgiving fashion. He didn’t report the statistic of a battle, or how many miles the Army had moved in a single day. For Pyle, the war was about the men who fought it.
