 * Reason:Probably one of the most famous paintings of its very specific type. And, hey, the folks at WP:MILHIST will be glad to not see my name next to one of their FPs (although Philip IV, below, will also do that. Just trying to avoid any false attribution to me as most of my noms are my restorations).

 * Comment: Lea was employed by Life magazine when he created this image. By what provenance is it deemed to be in the Public Domain? --Paul_012 (talk) 16:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's now owned by the army, and there seems to be a lot of sources saying it's been released or expired, but I'm not finding much about instrument of release or expiration. The trouble with found images on Commons, I suppose. It might well not have had its copyright renewed, but I don't quite remember how that works for magazine images.

 * Comment The source given on Commons is a Reddit post on the 'MilitaryPorn' community(!). I think that better sourcing is needed. Nick-D (talk) 00:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Is that what it was called? I just googled to find a high-definition scan since the other one uploaded was kinda meh. Didn't pay that much attention, since the Bridgeman ruling. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 01:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
