    Fabulous photo. It took a maverick to shave his top lip in that company...
  • John Spooner said:
    I understand shaving the top lip was not allowed in the British Army until 1916.

    Topical.

    The guy at bottom right really let loose here. Bottom left had a little something going on, but bottom right blew him out of the water. Bottom middle obviously hedged, and lost. He's got that "what the hell should I do?!" look on his face. Poor chap. Great photo. I like it.
