Military Men Day


Today is Military Men Day on the blog and we start with one of a group of photos made at the same time from multiple angles by a lucky photographer.  I've already posted several of these, some of which were given to me by Dee Exx, and others which I found on my own.  The guy near front right seems to know exactly what's going on and seems to be enjoying it.

  1. I love this photo and the boy in the foreground who is smiling and seems to be enjoying the spectacle offered by his colleagues...

  2. Before portable or soldier-made showers, bodies of water were often the only way soldiers could get clean. I've done it myself; cool salt water is really refreshing on a sweaty day. I've seen pictures of soldiers in the US civil war bathing in rivers and creeks. Civilian men and boys often did this before indoor plumbing , and in New Orleans it was so common that eventually the city forbade skinny dipping during daylight hours.
