I’m always wondering who was taking these pictures. Was it military procedure so they could be used for propaganda or was it just a hobby of some dedicated officers?

How young is he? I’m guessing 13, but I’m being optimistic here.

More and more as I get older, I see pictures from the war and think, they’re just boys. Heartbreaking.
