Cracked Military Photos

Military photos showing a web of fine dark or light lines across the surface, with flakes lifting where the cracks meet have almost always met a print that dried out and stiffened before it was bent, or a plate whose coating crazed with age. The cracked emulsion sits on top of the image of a serviceman or servicewoman in uniform, often taken just before deployment, which is still there underneath.

Nothing in the service photo is redrawn for effect; the cracked emulsion is treated as a layer to remove and the image of a serviceman or servicewoman in uniform, often taken just before deployment as the thing to keep. If the cracked area covered the insignia, ribbons, unit patches and cap badge, the fill is inferred from what survives around it.
