The MailOnline has reported the death of the US sailor made famous in the iconic photograph made by celebrated photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt in Times Square, New York on VJ Day, 14th August 1945.
“Glenn McDuffie passed away on March 9 in a nursing home in Dallas, his daughter, Glenda Bell, told The Associated Press.”
“A mail carrier and semi-professional baseball player after he returned from World War II, McDuffie’s life became more exciting about six years ago when Houston Police Department forensic artist Lois Gibson was able to identify him as the young man leaning over the woman in his arms to kiss her.”
