AP Photographer Wrecks Cameras at Tarawa. Associated Press photographer Frank Filan and Coast Guard combat artist Ken P. Riley examine the former's cameras, ruined by water in the invasion of Tarawa. The AP man was heading into shore when the invasion barge sunk. He started to wade when he fell into a hole, wrecking his cameras. After spending two days in a foxhole on the bloody beach he met a Coast Guard photographer who loaned him a camera. Riley, attached to a Coast Guard manned transport that participated in the invasion, formerly lived in Parsons, Kansas.
