Compared to so many soldiers who look years past their age, this man looks so young. Is that first stuble on his chin or shadow? Maybe the curls add to making him look young. I can never look at these unidentified men without an ache in my heart. He wasn't unidentified in life and I pray that he wasn't in death either. Hopefully just the photo is unidentified.
