I have read somewhere today that the ban originates from the Vietnam war when photos such as these were used on a daily basis by those campaigning against and protesting the draft etc.
I have lost someone dear to me in another war and spent long hours wondering where he was and if someone was watching over, carefully bringing him home. I would not presume to imagine what these photos might mean to family waiting at home, but I have an idea that it might have proved a comfort. This is too sad isn't it.
