War correspondent (1887–1939) who lived a life of danger; he was one of radio’s first news commentators, known for his fast talking delivery. Serving as a World War I correspondent, Gibbons lost an eye after being hit by German gunfire while attempting to rescue an American soldier, at the Battle of Belleau Wood, France. Vintage 5.5 x 8.25 heavy paperstock photo of an older Gibbons sporting an eye patch, signed in fountain pen. In very good condition, with horizontal tear to left edge, scattered creases and corner dings, and a bit of light toning.
