Fantastically evocative - the final photo the GI is wearing a wedding ring … so that’s his wife or he’s playing away.
I love old WW II photos! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant insight into a bit of family history. My father, Danish soldier stationed in England in the 1940′s, met my mum, local English girl and here’s hoping they had moments like this.
My grandmother got into just such a situation, wearing just such a ring…
