Marine back from overseas ,a nice family portrait...
It was a beautiful day today in SF and for once ,it felt like spring was kicking in .What started as a lame day at the flea market, ended with an unusual find .what's so unusual about a family album you might say!? ,well considering the fact that more and more people are sorting old vintage albums to sale pictures on ebay ,finding a complete and unmolested one dating from ww1 is indeed unusual....This marine / navy family settle in Honolulu back in 1917 after the father's return from overseas .The entire album covers a period ranging from 1917 to 1919.Just selected some of my personal favorites and will most definitely post some more soon ........
