Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 28 July 2023 is Donald C. Thompson (photographer).
Donald C. Thompson (1885–1947) was a war photographer, cinematographer, producer and director known primarily for his still and motion picture work during World War I. Thompson repeatedly risked his life to capture the war on film, and then would return to the United States to share his experiences and images in public lectures, bringing the horrors of the war to US audiences. His work was widely shown in the US prompting one magazine to note that "nearly every reader of news of the great European war is familiar with the name of Donald C. Thompson, known the world over as ‘The War Photographer from Kansas.’” War correspondent E. Alexander Powell said that Thompson had “more chilled-steel nerve than any man I know.”
