There has been quite a lot online and in the press recently, I think occasioned by the publication of a book, about male affection in vintage photos... or Vintage Bromance as it is now rather worryingly being called. There are in fact a number of books available now which hark back to more innocent days when men were more willing perhaps to show a tender affection towards one another. Any one of those books would, I'm sure, be jealous of this beauty that arrived this morning. Film star looks all three of them, real tenderness in pose and expression and with an added poignancy of their military uniforms marking them out as likely participants in the hell that was the First World War. I can't properly decipher the name of the chap on the left except to know that he was only 18 when the photo was taken. So delighted to add this to my collection today.
