His idealism shines in his face. These pictures break my heart; all I can think of are the battlefield pictures. How many of these young men made it out alive and whole (at least physically). So sad.
Awesome collection.

This collection of people from that era is simply fantastic. I appreciate that I have been able to look at them and see who they were.
