Hi Ron, How sad to see so few smiling. They had to grow up quick in those days.

Looks to have been taken all around WWI.

The reason that very few are smiling is because the exposure time on cameras in those days was so long, their cheeks would've been aching by the time the photo had been taken. That's why old photos have so few smiling faces on them.

Hi Catherine, That's really interesting. I didn't know that. I will remember that when observing old photo's like these. Thankyou.
