I picked these up about 15 years ago at an antiques fair (yep, I was buying stuff like this since I was little tot). I loved how emotional these were- from the stoic faces marching off to war, and everyone being overly excited when they came home. Every time I look at the guy with a life preserver on his neck, I can’t not smile. It’s so interesting to me, getting to glimpse at a moment in these people’s lives; and to think they no longer exist..and yet they can still make me smile. Vintage photos are pretty thought provoking. I hope you enjoy these :)

First, I love your work and I appreciate it
Second, a detail, because vienna in the title?
I think that the soldiers portrayed in the photos are Italians
on an Italian ship from the colonial war in North Africa – sigh.
