Woman in Floral Skirt Posing Against a Brick Wall, Europe, circa 1944-1945

A young woman poses cheerfully against a brick wall in a floral skirt and headscarf typical of 1940s European civilian fashion. Found among the personal photographs of a 101st Airborne soldier, this portrait reflects the friendships and relationships American servicemen formed with local civilians while stationed overseas during and after the war.
