German

My source says this is a German.  The wall behind the bunk looks like 

the concrete type they used for bunkers or coastal fortifications.

 

No information

I have no information on this one, but they look like they're having a good time.

 

Hazy

This one's a hazy mess, but I like the way the soldiers are looking back at us.

 

Upper right

If you haven't already done so, check out the guy at upper right.

Those caps make me think Tsarist Russian Navy.

 

103rd Field Artillery

Our last photo is the 103rd Field Artillery of the U.S. Army near Condetz, France in 1918.

A note on the verso says this was "decootie-izing" and not a simple shower.

 

Troy Saxon Quarterly

Time for the quarterly Troy Saxon series, and we start with the always impressive Rusty Steele.

 

Bob Foxx

Here we see a moderately oiled Bob Foxx.

 

Unknown

We have a better record of model identification with Troy Saxon than many 

other photographers of his era, but I have no name for this one.

 

Mike North

Mike North seems to think someone is following him.

Billy Moffit

This is Billy Moffit, aka Billy Moffitt, aka Billy the Kid.

 

Joe Litener

My source identified this model as Joe Litener.

 

Jim Lindsey

I never get tired of looking at Jim Lindsey (sometimes spelled Lindsay), 

a model Troy Saxon referred to as Sarge.

 

Donnie Kay

Ending the Troy SAxon set with Donnie Kay.

 

Tony Sansone Day

It's been too long since I featured the work of Tony Sansone.

We start with No. 362 from a catalog.

Recent find

 

This one is a recent find from an online auction.

Cover I

 

Mr. Sansone made the cover of several iconic magazines of his time.

This one from Strength and Health is highly collectible today.

Townsend

 

Edwin Townsend took this demure, but still impressive, photo.  The lighting is exceptional.  

Edited to add:  Oops!  This is actually Charles Atlas.  See comments below.

Kneeling

 

I like the subtly contrasting shapes of the fixtures in this Edwin Townsend photo.

Cover II

 

This magazine cover is rare and bizarre.  It looks like something Freddie Kovert 

would have designed for himself on one of his silent drag movies.

More Townsend

 

Here's another example of Edwin Townsend's talent in photographing Tony Sansone.

This is a repeat from seven years ago and my alltime favorite Tony Sansone cover.

Mirror

 

Closing with this mirror shot which is from a series of them by Edwin Townsend.
