The captain looks a little long in the tooth.

...in the tooth," 'cause he is. Edward Streichen, photographer, was born in 1879. More bio at http://www.profotos.com/education/referencedesk/masters/masters/edwardsteichen/edwardsteichen.shtml

Wow!! I had no idea Steichen participated in the military during WW II. He's one of the greatest photographers of all time. He must have been quite tall or that trooper was really short. Thanks for posting that. Carl
