I did a little research on this photo. According to google, the lady’s uniform is either Army Nurse Corp (ANC) or Women’s Army Corp (WAC). The uniform is from the WWII era or early 1940s. If anyone could verify this, I would appreciate it.
She is standing on the dock of a ship. Boat Dock Fire Sta. No. 2 is clearly visible in the background. Most likely the ship was a troop transport or a hospital ship.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
This image is from another estate sale lot. In my opinion, the two young men look like brothers. I am basing this assumption on their facial features.
The photo does not contain any names. But the back is stamped with the Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minnesota logo with the date August 28, 1943.
Either the young man in uniform is on leave or he has just joined the service. The date is only the processing date of the image.
I wonder if he returned home? The date corresponds with WWII.
Until next time…peace.
I do not have any information on this gentleman. The photo was part of an estate sale.
From the style of uniform and type of motorcycle, I am guessing the photo was taken in the mid-1940s.
What do you think?
I do not have any data on these images. I would like to believe this gentleman was coming home after serving his time in the service.
Or perhaps, he is home on leave to see his newborn baby. I have no way of knowing the real situation.
I put this photo around the late 1940s.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
Over the years, I have worked on many photos, negatives, and films. Some photos I just can’t help but wonder about the back story. Who was this person? Where was this photo taken?
The Man in the Doorway is one of those photos. I am assuming, the photo was taken on a military base. He appears in other photos that would corroborate this guess. But unfortunately, that is all the information I have.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace
This image was part of an estate sale. Unfortunately, I do not have any names or an exact location for this photo.
The image is stamped on the back with Brown Photo Service, Minneapolis, Minn., May 4, 1944.
I think the image is of a father with his two sons. Of course, one of his sons is in the military. The other one appears too young for the service.
The date stamp lets me know the photo was taken during WWII. I assume the military man was either home on leave or just entering his military service.
What is your opinion? What do you see when you look at the image? I would love to know the real story behind the photo. I also wonder if the young man came home safe after the war.
Until next time…peace.
When working with old photos, I come across numerous ones with military members. I often wonder if the service member arrived home safely? What were their duties? What did they do after their service was over?
Did they get married? Or spend their lives in the service?
I hope, every service person I view, continued on to lead happy, healthy lives. But, I do know the realities of war.
So, on this Veterans’ Day, I thank everyone who served.
Until next time…peace
I recently purchased some photos from an auction site.
In this particular find, the back of the photo reads, “Some of the Fellows”.
Unfortunately, I do not have any more information. I am assuming, the group was in the military at the time of the photo. I cannot tell which branch. If someone can distinguish the uniforms, I would like to know the branch.
Until next time…peace
Yes, this photo definitely shows signs of age from the worn negative. The scenic view shows a church and a courtyard, which I imagine is full of beautiful flowers.
Now, this negative was a single cut. But there are numerous other photos of two women in uniform on different sets of negatives.
I cannot guarantee they are from the same time frame. I am just guessing.
Anyone have an idea where the photo was taken?
My knowledge of military transport is minimal. If anyone can provide details, I would love to learn more. I am assuming the photo is from the late 1940s. But I am only guessing.
These two photos were also part of this grouping.
I would love to know their history, their names, and the story behind this photo. 
The negatives were extremely damaged. I did the best of my abilities to fix them. But you can tell the extent of the wear over the years.
This photo came in a group of numerous negatives. Many of the photos are military in nature. I am hoping to share them all with you over the next few months.
