Images of Old Soldiers in their Life after Service
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he today that sheds his blood with me

shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
and hold their manhoods cheap, whilst any speaks
that fought with us, apon St. Crispin's Day!

This "Man in Question" poses some
very interesting possibilities as to who
he may have been and were he may
have served.

Very little information regarding this
image is available other than that it is
a tintype image and that it was found
