Re: {Tintype} Fed. Overcoat with corporal chevrons on cape
Wow John, what an awesome image. I personally like the contrast between the two gentlemen, one dressed in civilian garb while the other in military. It makes me wonder if the two were friends getting back together after military duty called the other man off. The reunion of the two is such a touching situation.
