Title: Who are these soldiers, English or American?
Post by: Traysha on Wednesday 01 October 25 17:49 BST (UK)

Was told one of these men was a deceased friends father, but she was born 1932. So what nationality are these soldiers and roughly date of photo?

Think they are U.S.A. soldiers. Date of photo I don't know.

Why would American soldiers be over here on the 30s?

Maybe the photo was taken in the USA.

Hi, don’t know what others think, but I would put the hairstyle as later than the 40’s?
