OSS CBI Photobook 10, Part 2 - Calcutta

Page 10, scan of bottom half


I can't see his face,
but judging solely from the posture
I would say that is Dad.
Besides, former Altar Boy Eugene Zdrojewski
would know precisely what to do
with an empty statuary niche.

Early 1945.




The cinema poster features a movie star who looks like
Bollywood's answer to Vivian Leigh.

Binota Bose is my guess.
This is off the internet, not in the Photobook.
Let me know if you have a better ID
of the movie star in the billboard above.




Coming up: transition from Calcutta to a base camp somewhere, or perhaps some time travel I have in mind.
