McCullin describes being embedded with U.S. Marines during the brutal 1968 Battle of Hue, where he took one of the war's most defining images: "Shell-shocked US Marine." The photograph shows a soldier motionless and staring blankly, clutching his rifle. McCullin notes he captured five identical frames of the soldier without his eyelashes moving once.
“It was amazing any of us survived... I was told by a senior officer that there was going to be a 24-hour operation, and you know, 11 days later I was still there.”
