Three people sit against a stone wall somewhere in Luxembourg in 1944: a tall American soldier on the left, a small French boy on the right, and a woman in the middle wearing a steel helmet and a wide grin, a camera hanging round her neck. It looks like a holiday snap. It is, frankly, the opposite of one.
The woman is Lee Miller. The photo: Me with smallest and tallest. At the time it was taken, she was one of the only accredited female war correspondents embedded with the US Army, filing photographs and dispatches to British Vogue from the front lines of the European theater.
