Anonymous Photographs: Three More From My Collection
K. PraslowiczHi! I don't do as much text blogging as I used to, as most of my efforts have shifted towards video content. Please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel.
View The ChannelI recently came across some anonymous photos that I’d purchased several years ago that have since been buried away in folders and boxes.
First up, this old-timey car getting lifted out of an icy body of water.
The other two I wish I had more information about them. Much like the sinking battleship image I own, there appears to be a fair amount of historical significance within these two images.
The first depicts what appears to be soldiers loading up on a transport ship. World War 2 would be my guess given the fashion and design shape of the vehicle in the background.
The second shows a very excited crowd gathering around some military men in a jeep. The design of the flags and style of the buildings in the background make me think this is somewhere in France. Again, I wish the print had some sort of marking on the back to indicate the date & event.
Any history buffs out there who look at any of these images and have any details jump out at them. Anything that might help fill the story in a bit more?
The picture with the flags appears to have a US Navy officer driving ( cap badge and gold strap , it looks like an eagle with anchors ! ) and a Free French Armie De L’air Captain in the passenger seat ( his cap has the rank of captain ) .
It looks very much like a liberation parade especialy as some seem to be looking down the road and the amount of bunches of flowers and flags around
