Description
This photo is part of a series that Williams shot on assignment of the "Perricone Quads," four quadruplet brothers who served as a tank crew in the 73rd tank battalion of the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. The brothers--Anthony, Carl, Bernard, and Donald--had to petition for exemption from the "Sullivan Rule," which forbade siblings from serving in the same unit. The four brothers pose here on the turret of their M26 Pershing tank with its top-mounted .50 caliber Browning machine gun. complete;
