This is an amazing photo that I was VERY lucky to find of both of my Grandfathers, Anthony Costanza and Frederick Eugene Harrison with my Great Uncle Arthur Edward Gentry, in the Korean War together, before my parents were even born, so they had no idea that they would all be family. Both of my Grandfathers passed away before my parents married.

I bought this photo in a central Texas antique store yesterday. Nothing is written on it anywhere. A photo lab stamp on the back says that the print was processed in June 1960.
The man appears to be a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I can't make out the rest of his insignia.
"This is a Kodacolor print made by Kodak. June 1960 K"

A badly damaged "realphoto" postcard showing a World War I soldier who died in action. The light color of his coat and other details make me think he may have been French.
Nobody will ever know who he was and his family would never know what became of him.
