Found this at home - my grandfather with the partisans. Picture taken August 17th 1942 in village Dobro near Livno, Hercegovina. 3rd company, 3rd (Kragujevac) battalion, 1st proleterian brigade. My granpa is the guy in the middle, looking to the right.

The guys went through some serious troubles in the eight months prior to the day when this photo was taken in the hot Hercegovina sun.

And because he was a good soldier, good comunist and generally a capable guy, five years after the photo above was taken, after Neretva, Sutjeska, a wounding and all the rest - he was a proud bearer of a Yugoslav diplomatic passport on his way to Soviet Union. Such were the times back then...
