I liked this part from the article ... 
Quote:
In May 1944, Pyle was notified that he had been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his dispatches.
On D-Day, as the invasion force fought for the beach, Pyle was trapped just offshore, on a ship transporting tanks. He had
boarded with a kit bag heavy with liquor bottles,
some good-luck talismans and a Remington portable typewriter.

Being a civilian Pyle was allowed to drink and probably had to after witnessing Normandy.
