Collection of Photographs - Soldier in the United States Army, Machal and IDF, 1940s / Teheran Children
About 120 photographs from the estate of a Machal soldier (Overseas Volunteers) Abe (Abraham) Kenny / Kiniavsky. USA, Palestine, Iran and Belgium, ca. 1942 to 1949 (some later photographs - late 20th century).
Photographs recording the military service of Kenny, at first in the USA army (late in 1942; Kenny served, among other places, in Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on the base), later in Palestine, in Iran (1943-1944) and Belgium (1945) in the framework of Machal enlistment, and finally in IDF.
Documented in two photographs is a railroad car with "Teheran Children" parking in Iran (on the way to Palestine); other photographs portray soldiers in a base, training or on leave, Kenny with other soldiers during the Independence War, the first Independence parade in Tel-Aviv (1949), and more.
Many of the photographs are titled and dated on the back and Kenny's name appears on many of them. Several photographs were taken in the United States, when Kenny was still young, while others were taken in Israel. A number of photographs were sent to Kenny by friends and bear dedications on the back.
Size varies, approx. 5.5X8 cm to 16.5X11.5 cm. Some photographs in a small format appear also in a large format. Good overall condition. Stains. Some photographs are cut.
