wait for me, daddy

 issued 2014

This photograph was taken in 1940 by Claude Detloff.  The picture of the five year old boy racing to his father in the Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles marching to a waiting ship was soon after used by the government to help sell war bonds.  Warren "Whitey" Bernard's father survived the war.
