Random Photograph: The Unknown Lady


I bought this photo at Attic Books last week. I usually name the people in photos I buy, but I couldn't bring myself to name this lady. She looks like she's a bit annoyed at someone taking her picture at random, but she also looks like she's had a bit of a bad day or perhaps just received some bad news. 

It was what was written on the back that brought me to the decision to not name her. 

July 1944

She was on the way to the canteen

Never 'specting to be seen

So if you care to take a look

you'll see what poor duffer took
