WW2 Military Photograph Can Anyone Identify This Gentleman

Another storage find.very nice what I believe is a WW2 photograph.Most of the items int the storage was WW2.Might be a movie star,would be nice.There's writing at the top.I won the war for you sister.

 

he must be famous.....with those medals !

 

Medals? Where? Or were you joking?

 

He "almost" looks like a youngish Errol Flynn.........but I didn't check his age or if he even served!

 

Handsome lad ,isnt he ?

 

but he so does....doesn't he ????

 

Regarding Errol Flynn, he did not serve in WWII. He wanted to, but according to Wikipedia:
"Flynn became a naturalised American citizen on 14 August 1942.[51] With the United States fully involved in the Second World War, he attempted to enlist in the armed services but failed the physical exam due to recurrent malaria (contracted in New Guinea), a heart murmur, various venereal diseases and latent pulmonary tuberculosis.[51] Flynn was mocked by reporters and critics as a "draft dodger" but the studio refused to admit that their star, promoted for his physical beauty and athleticism, had been disqualified due to health problems.[52]"

The man in the photo is handsome. I don't recognize him as any actor I've seen. He does somewhat resemble Flynn. Flynn was born in 1909, BTW. So could have served if not for the various medical issues.

 

I think he was just a good-looking GI in his Induction photo. Most guys had a photo taken in their class As and sent it to Mom, the wife, etc. Sister in this case.

 

I think he's using the term "Sister" in the hardboiled slang sense. The idea being... "I won the war just for you, Babe."

Might well be. I don't normally think in 1930s slang.

 

His outfit does not appear to be a uniform - none of the sewn on things that identify his status, the unit in which he was serving, etc. Might not even be a USArmy set of clothing. Certainly not an "induction" photo. Besides, his inscription is in the past tense. Seems the war is already over.

 

Thank you all,I didn't say he was famous,I said might be.This was inside the storage I brought at auction.

 

Aren't those U.S. Army artillery buttons? Mid- to Late- World War II according to this?

1 button on his collar, but I can't see enough detail on the others to say for sure. Still doesn't have the rest of the usual insignia, though.
