General George S. Patton

1989

A historical black and white photo showing a group of soldiers wearing combat helmets, one of whom is smiling at the camera, while a prominent figure in a trench coat and hat, likely a high-ranking officer or political figure, stands facing them. The photo appears aged and there is handwriting scrawled across the top right corner.
