Old Phots

For the purposes of "graffitying" my body, I am looking for a WW2 style picture with a matelot in square rig, cap abaft complete with tiddly bow, carrying his kit bag.

I am stuggling to find the right phot , can anyone help me?

There's a perfect one I've seen in a book called "Sailor : A pictorial history", he's even got a parrot in a cage. he's leaving a railway station in London. it was taken in the late 30's.

dunno where you'd get a copy of the book though, Amazon maybe??

 

An old shipmate of mine has a tattoo of a Matelot, kit bag slung over shoulder walking into the sunset with "Never Again"

Can't find any images on google like that though

 

Go to: www.corbis.com

*** Type "British Navy" "Royal Marines" or whatever you want in the Search Box....see what comes up***

 

There are some lovely sailor piccies in that book.... :razz: ....especially if you're into white duck suits! :lol:

Would either of these be useful ...

 

Is that you Scouse? Who's the guy whose lid you're perched on, and who's the cat? :razz:
