Original – R. V. C. Bodley, approximately 1914
Alt 1 restored and levels slightly tweaked.
Reason
Has lots of pixels and the man is handsome. If you read the Flickr page, there is a very interesting effort by the IWM to release photos and get the public to research the histories of some of the men from WWI. This guy is not just some person in people's families, but a fellow that we have a Wiki article on. And his one book that I have read (Wind in the Sahara) is very cool: imagine Richard Halliburton crossed with T. E. Lawrence.
