Favorite historical photos.

Just stumbled once more on these two images which exemplify the anxiety and yearning of people being reunited with their families. The emotion would have to make them amongst my faves of historical photos.......What are yours?

Women awaiting the disembarkation of Australian "diggers" returning from the Western Front 1919.

Immigrant families arriving in Sydney to be reunited with families and start a new life 1966

Love these shots.

I also like the one of the sailor kissing the girl in Times Square on VJ Day, but I can't seem to get it uploaded. Maybe later.
