He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
PFC Milburn Henke, presented to the press as the ‘first’ United States soldier to land in Northern Ireland as part of the U.S. build up in the British Isles, arrives at Dufferin Quay, Belfast. Photo taken on Jan. 26, 1942 by Lieutenant Bainbridge

the soldier or officer on the left (first post) has a revolver in his cross draw holster. Webley? 1917?
Judging by the single chevron on his sleeve and the white cover over his forearm, the Private on the left is actually an Army MP (British, or Irish?), no doubt detailed to help maintain order in the off-loading of those unruly Yanks.

If the location is Northern Ireland then he would be a British soldier (MP) but it also possible that he could also be an Irish citizen serving in the British army.
