Let it Snow

 

It's hot out, and I wouldn't mind some cool weather.  Not snow, but lower temperatures.  I can't make out what's written on the front.  

What's Happening?

 

What is he, or is it she, doing?  Is it some sort of job, or is he just washing up?  It looks like a field has been cleared, but for what?  

Tourists

 

Probably from the late 19th century, or possibly the very early 20th century.   It looks like someplace with a tropical feel.  The Caribbean, Hawaii, the Philippines.  

The M2 Light Tank

  

I've tried to do a bit of research on this photo, and while I'm not 100% sure, I think this is a photo of an M2 Light Tank, made by the Rock Island Arsenal Company that went into production in 1937.  It was equipped with a 37mm M5 gun and machine guns.  Mostly, it was used for reconnaissance.  It was under armed for serious combat operations.

Cut Down

 

This slim photo has been cut down from a larger photo.   There is some writing on the back, but like the picture itself, some of it has been lost to the scissors.  "Dec. 20/4."  So, from the 1940s.  And, "Taken in Ge."  Perhaps Germany and a soldier on occupation duty.  Or, then again, maybe Georgia, though there isn't that much snow in Georgia. 

Don't Forget the Dog

  

Written on the back, "July 1952  Ruth, Clint & David, Clint's son."  A farm family?  Perhaps a house right on the edge of the new, post-war subdivision?  Was Clint a widower or divorced?
