This is my wife's brother - Sumer Ciobotaru - in his lieutenant uniform.
When he was in the army he gave my wife this picture, and on the back he wrote:
"Remember your brother, who is sometimes far away from you and that is why I give you this photo to keep an eye on me,
Sumer, 31st of January, 1954"
