The two soldiers...Clint Eastwood and Robert Mitchum?
Interesting collection of weapons too. I see lots of Garands, couple of MGs, an M1 and a bolt action rifle on the right. Is it stuck in the ground ?

The woman mannequin helps to direct traffic to the front in Viersen, Germany. March, 1945.
Well, it would make traffic slow down a little I suppose.
I see she got hit in the shoulder... but it's only a flesh wound ;-)

American light mortar crew, Normandy 1944.
The patch would suggest 3rd Infantry Division.

You need fire? Iwo Jima, Feb 1945.
Risky job in a risky career.
That is one surreal picture.
Great post Luis.
