This photograph is a retouched and colored rendition of a photograph I inherited
of my paternal grandfather, David Radford Martin, when he was 18 years and 2
months old, and newly enlisted in the US Army.  The original US Army official
photograph was worn and the retouching and addition of coloring made the photo
"come to life".  I happened to visit the Military Historians Museum in
Westbrook, Connecticut, and to my surprise there was a manaquin with the
identical uniform on.  I photographed the manaquin and sent the manaquin hotos
to photolab where the appropriate matching colors were added.  For skin colour,
I referred to a chalk colored drawing of David made about 1918. This is the
result. Blue eyes, , dark brown hair, and a height of 5'8".    

Additional Comments:
Wearing the US Army's P1902 deep blue dress uniform with grey breast cord.
