There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Rolls
I mean the smaller ones in the top pic. I see three of them. They look like pads to sleep on.

Could they possibly be their coats rolled up on top of the pack?

Not those either -- look at the guy right in the center foreground, he has one under his left arm. Two guys 4 and 5 back from him also have them. The guy in the back row who is looking right at the camera also has one slung on his back.

That would make the photo relatively modern, wouldn't it? Like maybe post-war Germany? Is Elvis in that column someplace? LOL
