Verdun
These French soldiers enjoying a swim had been rotated out of the front lines at Verdun,
a vicious 1916 battle of attrition that many consider the worst episode of a truly awful war.
I always like seeing military posts, Jerry. I came of age toward the end of the era when males were comfortable being stripped around one another. We swam naked atthe YMCA, in high school swimming class, college swimming, and during "men's swimming hours" at the college.
I share your view, through good and bad the camaraderie between the men is always in evidence. Thanks Jerry for keeping them in our memories. Our election is over I can relax now!! Lol.

ReplyDeleteI also miss that.
DeleteI love this kind of photo... As Big Dude says, men of yesteryear loved to be naked with each other. Too bad that's no longer the case today.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that they LOVED being naked together. I meant that they accepted it and were comfortable with it. There's a difference.
DeleteI like these because generally they show men relaxing and having fun who could be in the gravest situations otherwise.

You're welcome, Pat.
DeleteUne pause avec la terreur.
ReplyDeleteSuch times kept a soldier sane.
