Sabrejet Posted May 25, 2011 Share #26 Posted May 25, 2011 Just found this thread. A wonderful collection of photographs...many of which give a lie to the "They never wore them like that" school of thought! Thanks for sharing.

frayed1 Posted July 11, 2011 Share #43 Posted July 11, 2011 Those were pretty scary times, and I guess it would be nice to have a portrait done (for memories sake). I honestly wonder how so many of the guys could smile and look for comfortable? 'Cause men look Goooood in uniform, and I think they know it!! Look at those caps at a 'rankish' angle ( was that 'regulation'?) ......my Dad's and Uncles's studio photos are very similar. I love them all!! ~Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 30 years old.Don't know if he did photography in the Army but he did before he went in. Sent off for records, we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
