I found this random original photo this weekend. No name and no context as to who, when and where.

What might you be able to tell me about it? Thanks!  Kim

Hello Kim:

 

I believe that your photo depicts a British Army dispatch rider during WW2.  He is astride a BSA M20, the most common motorcycle used by British armed forces during the war.  Neat pic.

 

Regards,

Charlie

Thanks for the ID Charlie. I'll print off your description and keep it with the photo.
