Not an easy one for me this week for Sepia Saturday! I really have nothing to fit the theme exactly, but I can go back to an old post and add a few more photos. Sepia Saturday 270 featured a theme of puppies and air crew for which I posted a photo of an unknown man and a puppy. I still don’t know who that man is, but as a man in uniform, I suppose I can squeeze him into this theme! On the back of the photo on the left, someone wrote, “This was taken last Feb. The only snow we had last winter,” which makes me think that perhaps this was taken in an area a bit south of where my great grandma Olga lived in central PA – they get that kind of snow in September sometimes! As for a date, I’d assume around 1945 again. The photo on the right is pretty much the same as the photo for week 270 linked above, just standing in the shade instead, but he is a man in uniform, likely at some sort of army depot or warehouse or something. I do like the little face painted on the either wall or crate behind him though – nice touch! Short and sweet again this week – these busy summer weeks keep slipping away so quickly, I haven’t had much time to prepare as well as I usually do for Sepia Saturday.

Men in uniforms certainly fits the theme. Short but sweet. Nice job!

a very nice puppy and more interesting than a stack of bank notes

Oh this was perfect just as it is. Old photos and stories from back in the past that’s what it’s all about!
The man looks a bit older than most privates in WWII. His shoulder patch marks him as a soldier in the USArmy 3rd Service Command with headquarters in Baltimore. They were part of the non-combat supply units.

Ah ha! I couldn’t figure out which location he may have been attached to, and there it is. I agree with you on his age – I imagine he may have been a reservist who was called up to duty or perhaps recalled to help during wartime? This puts me one step closer to figuring out who he is though, so many thanks!!
