Dmitri Kessel (1902 – 1995) was born in the Russian Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in the 1920s. During a 60-year career, Mr. Kessel worked as an industrial photographer, a war correspondent and combat photographer, and a photo essayist for LIFE magazine. During World War II, he sailed on convoy escorts in the North Atlantic, covered the landing of American troops in the Aleutian Islands and the British landing in Greece.
