About this piece

Original vintage black-and-white snapshot, circa 1940s, showing a young man in a WWII-era Army uniform and garrison (overseas) cap standing between an older man in a suit, tie and hat and an older woman in a print dress, arms around each other, posed outdoors on the porch of a vine-covered frame house. Likely a serviceman photographed with family members, though no names, unit, or location are written on the photo and none are confirmed.
