I picked up this photo postcard a few weeks ago. It features a seated woman and a standing man in a fairly anonymous looking military uniform of some sort. Their names are Jenny and Peter as the photo is signed by them on the reverse. The only uniform insignia of any sort I can see is on his lower right-hand sleeve but not sure what it is ... does anyone out there know more?
As always, lots more vintage postcards on my web site

Is he a "Doughboy"? Is she a nurse? Interesting faces and photo....
ReplyDeleteIf appearances could speak.... Don't you think he looks a little Scandanavian?
ReplyDeleteHe looks so serious. I get the sense that the picture was taken right before his departure.
ReplyDeletei've got a photo of a mystery man man in a similar uniform. wish i did know more about it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the uniform is. The shirt looks like the WWI U.S. Marine Corp tunic - but the pockets should have points on them. The breeches look like those issued to US Army doughboys - but the tunic sleeves pockets and stitching are not right for those either. With no insignia other than the stitching on the sleeve your guess is as good as mine.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo whoever they are.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopeless on insignia I'm afraid. But a classic photo of its type.
