Catherine Leroy France 1945-2006
photojournalist whose stark images of battle helped tell the story of Vietnam in Life magazine and other publications
(...)
Ms. Leroy, who was born in France, was 21 in 1966 when she bought a one-way ticket to Saigon to document American troops in Vietnam.
A year later she was the only accredited journalist to take part in a combat parachute jump with the 173rd Airborne Brigade during Operation Junction City.
Her 1967 photograph “Corpsman in Anguish” portrays a young Marine, his face wrenched in torment, hunched over the body of his friend while smoke from the battle rises behind them.
In 1968, during the Tet offensive, Ms. Leroy was captured by the North Vietnamese Army.
She managed to talk her way out and emerged with images of the army in action that were published in Life.
One was used on the cover under the headline: “A Remarkable Day in Hue: The enemy lets me take his picture, by Catherine Leroy.”
Ms. Leroy worked for the Gamma and Sipa photo agencies and later sold her work to The Associated Press and United Press International.
Her photos appeared in publications worldwide.
She won a George Polk award for her Vietnam work in 1967 and was the first woman to receive the Robert Capa Award for her coverage of the civil war in Lebanon in 1976.
