Hemingway wasn't in the army so the description should be changed as well. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support retouched 2: When I was in school my best friend and I were enamoured with Ernest Hemingway and pasted pictures of him to our textbook covers. Seven years on and my tastes haven't changed, :) Portrait does have some minor issues, but it's been retouched okay and I think its EV, age, and irreplaceability compensate.
