Description

An unidentified boy in fancy dress depicting German leader Adolf Hitler. Taken on the deck of what is probably the Blue Funnel Liner SS Patroclus, note the lifebuoy behind him, he is wearing oversized swastikas, a facimile Iron Cross, a Hitler style moustache and has had his hair styled in the manner of the German dictator. (From a collection of 13246 Sergeant Ronald Maurice Pullin, Federated Malay States Volunteer Force.)
