Fred Harvey Photomatic Portrait of Young Man with Gun and Bandaid dutch oven set I don't believe it is

I don't believe it is

in addition to this curious missing chunk

minor and not visible from the front

Or maybe it is just an anthroporphism of the proverbial primal scream

I'll be happy just to keep it for myself

Fred Harvey Photomatic Portrait of Young Man with Gun and Bandaid dutch oven set I don't believe it isI assume, as he looks to be holding a real gun, that this very beautiful boy is in fact a very young soldier and I have learned that during WW2 Fred Harvey's Harvey House restaurants re opened to serve soldiers as they traveled in troop trains across the U. S so perhaps that is when this Photomatic was taken. I find it quite a stunning portrait, including for the bright intensity of his gaze and posture, and that bandage stretching from temple to ear.
