Men aren't so ferocious when they're eating icecream or just lying there dead. I made his face slowing going from pink to blue. Did he freeze to dearh? I don't see any blood.
Poor Fritz, he didn't keep his boots in good order. That's why his comrades are still alive and he is buried in bare feet. Chances are the men standing will be lying when the covering on the truck catches fire.
Yes, he's dead now. The first time I saw this photo I was impressed by the photographer's eye. After seeing it somewhere else, I investigated and found Ralph Hall , the macho soldier was indeed a soldier who served in the British Army. Maybe not in this uniform. A man, I suspect from the upper classes- Montague Glover- was an amateur photgrapher who loved the lower classes and soldiers, especially. He befriended Ralph and they lived the rest of their lives together. There is a book, A Class Apart, which shows the private pictures of Monty Glover. Some of the pictures are on the net and the book is available at the public libraries. Once again I couldn't leave his boots alone. He's definately in my group-Heroes and Boots.
There are reruns of thistv show-wild, wild west. Robert conrad is almost killed in the episodes. In this particular one, he is wearing a great pair of boots.
Thanks to arrow man for the original. The victim is lying at the perfect angle for me to put decent boots on him. I'm unaware of his crime; what concerns me is his final judgment. Will he go below or will he be forgiven?
How fortunate this young man is. While he was being shot, his left shoe suffered a deep scratch. Even though there is a big can of polish, I'm afraid they wont be able to repair the damage. But, he does find some comfort with the highly polished boots on the attending officer. Remember, the policeman is your friend, so treat him well. Other than the blood leaking, he is cute.
What a horrible way to go. He must have had a loved one waiting for his return. A deceased friend of mine said the exhilaration from the speed overcomes the fear of an accident. A nurse said those who love their bikes get right back on them as soon as their injuries have healed. This same friend said he would want to die like Laurence of Arabia. Sad to say he died in bed undiscovered for 10 days.
I don't know why he is dead. It wasn't old age. Maybe someone didn't care for his attitude. Too bad his boots didn't protect him from the evil ways of this world.
