I knew immediately I could match this week's prompt.
The background of a larger shot where people, including a woman and a sailor, are walking away from the camera.
This photo with the woman walking away towards a group of sailors comes from a wartime photo of a band either welcoming home an aircraft carrier, or maybe serenading one about to depart to war.
I prefer the welcome home scenario.
I also wonder whether that is the band of the Royal Marines?
Unfortunately my elder brother who served on carriers with the Fleet Air Arm during WWII is no longer alive to identify the occasion or the location for me.
I also wonder whether this is another photo taken from a different position on the same day.
This looks much more like a welcome home occasion far different to this action shot.
