Alan, The above is rather a dogmatic statement from a person whose post is an argument against that very type of closed minds. You really don't mean it impossible to prove that photo genuine do you? Since per se if a photo exist it is a genuine photo. As to the question, does the photo represent a solder at his moment of death, that is another matter altogether. But, it does seem to me that in a front line under fire situation a photographer may of aimed at a man just at the solder's most unlucky moment, when he was hit by a bullet. Anyway, my thoughts for the day. Regards, Michael
