I agree your heading.

Is it known who he was and how he served?

The story is an urban myth, the bike is from the 1950's.

Hi bobbob

Yeah obvious in hindsight - the bike is a real 50's classic

BUT I guess many a family can tell a story of young ones leaving - never to return!
Sometime there are thing left behind - more often than not .. not!

Sorry didn't mean to detract from the thoughts and emotions a picture like that can stir. I got all tearful the first time I saw it.
