War Correspondent Harold W.Kulik

[Col Bruggy]

Hello,

Allied War Correspondents were officially accredited members of their respective countries military arms. They were accorded the same rights and privileges as service personnel. I have a head and shoulders shot of Kulick - he is dressed in military uniform - "US" badges are visible on his sidecap and his lapels.

Commander Pays Tribute to Photographer Harold Kulick
IT Is with deep regret that I have been informed of the death of Mr. Harold W. Kulick, war correspondent and photographer representing POPULAR SCIENCE magazine. Mr. Kulick was killed when an aircraft of this command in which he was flying as a photographer-observer crashed near its home base after returning in a damaged condition from an operational mission over enemy territory. To secure pictorial coverage of B-28 air-planes in action, Mr. Kulick willingly shared the risks of combat crewmen. His courage and devotion to professional duty in face of danger are a tribute to himself and his profession. His loss is felt keenly by all person-nel of this command who had come to know him.—Samuel E. Anderson, Brigadier General, USA, Commanding IX Bomber Command.
Readers of this magazine will remember many examples of the high artistic quality of Harold Kulick's work. Associated with writer Hickman Powell on the POPULAR SCIENCE war-front reporting team, he illustrated such outstanding articles as "The Rite That Smashed Berlin" (Mar. '44), "Chasing Echoes on a Destroyer Escort" (April '44), "What It Takes to Be a Thunderbolt Ace" (May '44), "A Fortress Lives to Fight Again" (June '44), and "Fighting at 425 Miles tin Hour" (Aug. '44).—Ed.

I must admit I originally had an issue where it takes over a month for his death to be announced officially (after NoK) but I found out that
