George Strock
George Strock was a photojournalist during World War II when he took a picture of three American soldiers who were killed during the Battle of BunaGona on the Buna beach. It became the first photograph to depict dead American troops on the battlefield to be published during World War II. Life correspondent Cal Whipple went all the way to the White House to get permission to print the image.
Strock was born in Dyersville, Iowa to William L. and Mary R. Lippert Strock. He had a brother, Edward. Before 1925, the family moved to Los Angeles. Strock attended John C. Fremont High School in South Central Los Angeles where he studied photojournalism under Clarence A. Bach, who had begun teaching the first such course in the United States in 1924. Strock graduated from high school in 1928.
