As a WWII vet, my father’s last posting was in Italy at about this time; 3 years & 3 days hence his 1st daughter (moi) would be born. The exact galoshes in this photo were in our family overshoe bin. And I love that dog, sitting at attention. Thank you.
That’s a lovely comment! Thanks for sharing your association with this photo. It’s one of my favourite photos from the end of WWII. The 70th anniversary of V-E Day is just a month away.
