Hi All.
@Sven (Thanks) posted this photo in the 'Original old photo's thread.
Since no discussion is allowed there, and you may not have seen it (and by putting it here it's referencable / searchable)
I tried to trace the source without success (perhaps someone here knows).
The rider is a Staff Sergeant in the US Army Service Corps. The bike looks like a Utility Lightweight made by Huffman. Possibly 1943 since it doesnt appear to have a chain guard or badge.
There's something strange going on with the grips, perhaps they have a second covering, perhaps he's holding gloves (thiough this seems unlikely given he's in chinos).
Lots of Pyramidal tents in the background.
Best Regards,
Adrian
