Today's them is the military, and we start with the obligatory shower shot.

Delousing
Trench warfare produced perfect conditions for lice, so all the armies had to take elaborate
measures to deal with them. This is a German delousing facility from 1916.
Bucket
It looks like this WWII German soldier is about to be doused by his bucket wielding friend.
If so, I think his towel could easily get soaked as well.
Latvian Rifle Regiment
This is a Latvian rifle regiment exercising on a beach near Jurmala in 1916. At that time, they would have been in the Russian Imperial Army. Enlarge and you might see some peekaboo items.
Estonian Recruits
Thought I'd sneak in this pair of Estonian interwar recruits.
They look pretty good from any direction.
VD Inspection
Here we have what looks like one of those impromtu VD inspections in the field.
This time, it's the American army, but several others did it.
Poilu
I found our last military photo in a group labeled "Poilus," an affectionate term for early 20th Century French soldiers that roughly translates as "hairy ones." The photos were cropped from what appears to be an art textbook. That makes sense because a method was taught at that time for making clothed men appear more natural by sketching them nude first and then adding the clothing later. American muralist Allyn Cox used this method, and I've posted examples here.

Rod Mitchell
This is Rod Mitchell in a 1980 photo said to be by Target. I think this might have been the inspiration for the iconic drawing below by Richard A White. The other guy looks like Mike Morris.
Charley Smith
Graven Images took this photo of Charley Smith that might have been a Mandate centerfold.
I hate it when they divide the images, and we can't see if there were staples.
Mystery Magazine
We can see that this is Steve Cole photographed by Jim Moss, but does anyone
know the name of the Spanish language magazine in which this appeared?
No less than three different image search engines came up blank.

Name that Model Day IV
It's name that model day again, and first up we have a Kris photo of a guy who some sources have listed as unknown and at least one has listed with multiple names. Anyone know who he actually is?
Dave Martin
Dave Martin kept better records of his models than most of his peers,
but I haven't been able to find names for these two handsome men.
Cub Studio
Cub Studio produced this image in 1970. The hairy model is
quite a contrast to the twinks we often see from that time.
Denny Denfield Duo
This attractive pair appeared in a book of Denny Denfield's photos called Comin, at Ya,
a post career rendition of some of his work in a 3D format.
