    A remarkable image.

    Lucky digger!!

    This is an iconic photograph, and photojournalism at its very best. The young woman is unforgettable, but I also get a kick from the unalloyed joy on the face of the older woman to the left. A mother relieved that her son needed only a crutch, perhaps?

    If I'm not mistaken, this shot was used for the poster for the War Memorial's 'Love and War' exhibit.

    Do we know who the photographer was?

    Someone please remove the stupid comments, insulting the lady on the left of the photo who is probably the soldiers sister or mother.

    Continuo desanimada pra pintar as unhas ;/ Mas dessa vez além do calor é a TPM tbm aff.
    Essa misturinha eu criei inspirada na música Diamonds AQUI da minha Diva Rihanna ♥ Não consegui captar, mas ela tem uns brilhinhos holograficos no estilo Nina da Hits, e até parece que tem uns pozinhos de diamante rs. Gostei muitooooo, e ela cobre com uma camadinha ;))))))

    Shine bright like a diamond.. ♪
