1947 AP wire photo shows Gen. Mark Clark meeting Irwin Yuen, a Los Angeles Press Club waiter who served in the Coast Guard during World War II. The caption says Yuen had once been ordered to fire on Clark's PT boat off Anzio after it was mistaken for a German E-boat because of a mix-up in recognition signals. They smile as Yuen gestures toward the general at a Los Angeles gathering reported August 19. Clark is in uniform; Yuen wears a white jacket. The caption is printed directly on the photo, which is mounted on black archival paper and measures 6¼ x 8¾ inches overall. From the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper. Tape is visible at the corners and over portions of the caption; small areas of image loss appear near the top and right edges, along with surface marks and discoloration.
