I found this man's old book of pictures in my uncles stuff. I don't know anything about this man, his significance, why my uncle had his book, but I'm so interested in his story. In the photo, the man is in the second row, sitting down, fifth from the right. Please help me if you have any idea of how I could obtain more information about this individual. I don't know where to start.
