I'm trying to place a date to this photo of my grandfather (1920-1975; he is the man on the right). I am unsure of it's time. I think it is either from his time in a military hospital from the period 1945-1946 (he was hospitalized for over a year due to a gunshot wound in WWII). Yet I also wonder if it could be later--perhaps in the '50s?:
Other photos of him here, from different points, maybe could help you establish a timeframe? I was also thinking his and the other man's attire--and their wristwatches--could help some of our experts here place a date. Note: In documents from the WWII era, he is listed as weighing between 160 and 190lbs at 5'11'' and 1/2''. In the 1960s documents I have his weight is listed around 220-225lbs; In the 1974 document I have his height is listed as 212lbs.
Here are the other photos, chronologically. Look at things like his weight, face, hairstyles, overtime:
Sometime between '39 and '43:
Sometime in 1945-1946, at Military Hospital:
April 1945 (in between visits to the military hospital):
1949:
1950 or 1951:
1966 or 1967:
1966:
1967:
