Worst case of flower power?

[Chris Boonzaier]

The Ausmarch photo was often meant to be the photo your family would remember you by if you died in action....

Sometimes I wonder if the girlfriend had the say

 

her - here, lets put some flowers on

him - actually... I prefer it without...

her - but the spike is so butch looking... c'mon, just a few flowers

him - what if someone laughs??

her - please honey bunch... don't you want to please your widdle, widdle wabbit?

Him - okay, just hope I don't get killed and this is the last pic of me!!!!

Great photo Chris

’Tragic’ in so many ways...

I too see the influence of the Fairer Sex!

Maybe his Mum said ‘do as you’re told’...

or

to continue the conversation with Girlfriend....

(Later that evening)

him - but you promised

her - and I meant it baby.  But not tonight... it’ll be better if we wait until you get back

him - but, but... what if I don’t get back?

her - don’t say that

him - well, whatever happens promise no-one else will ever see it....

her -  I promise... and I’ll not let anyone see the flower photo either

I am guessing that quite a few photo studios had "props".... that the soldier just went in, was gicen a helmet, rifle, belt, pouches etc... photos were made, and all the kit went back into a box...
