Please tell me any feelings you get from this photo

[TiredDonut]

Just that really.

If you are spiritual, do you get anything coming through from this photo?
Any thoughts, feelings or vibes?

Sorry guys well out order putting a gun emoji in a Safe space for women to vent no harm intended and I’ll look at myself to readdress that behaviour. Thanks

Yes he looks sad and I feel he is gay too.

i found an old photo in my family stuff. A picture of a soldier in Ww1 uniform. I fell in love with the photo. I think he married my great aunt after she emigrated to NZ. Such a calm gentle man. There was also another hoto of him in his 80s!

He's possibly of Middle-Eastern or Indian-Asian heritage. I think he had minor surgery as a child.

Oh that was very unpleasant.
I really didn't like, and can't place, the feeling I got from it.
Not good.

It’s a bit haunting - had he had a difficult childhood? Almost get a vibe there was some sort of abuse. I also get the impression he died young but did have children before then. A slightly absent partner.

Nothing 'woo' from me, just a photo of a chap who looks quite serious

I sense a young Alan Cumming getting a headship for a play in Chichester c1992

It puts me in mind of a very young Robert Knepper (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0460694/ ) who often ends up playing baddies in films and on TV, which might explain the creepy vibe some people are getting. Can't be him though, as he's much too young for the era that photo looks like it comes from. Generally the word I'd go with is melancholy.

Haven't read any other replies. I get immense sadness and possible some fear.

It looks like the sort of photo that was taken of men just before they went off to fight in WWII.

A potentially last photo, so people had something to remember them by if they died. I've for two or three of relatives that are similar.

Bad vibes...a manipulator

I’d guess it’s a face generated by AI

I looked at this when it was first posted, with no comments, and I thought sad and closet gay.

Good eyebrows

I love the specificity of some of these comments. A minor operation as a child. Hilarious.

Oh wow, thank you all so much for your replies!

It is indeed the poet Raoul Pugh. I am researching him along with a friend after we bought a collection of his letters and we have felt his presence strongly. A couple of spiritual friends have also had feelings when we've spoken about him and I was just wondering if anyone would pick up on anything.

The letters do indicate that he was indeed gay, and he certainly mixed in those circles.

He died aged 23 in 1944 and we have been told there he feels that something was left unresolved and he didn't get to do something important.

My first thoughts were sadness and loss or tragedy before I read the updates. How interesting, I love a bit of research like this!

His gentle eyes are pleading for understanding maybe….but he feels a bit hopeless. I feel sad for him.

That the dead don't like people grieving too long or clinging onto them. You have to let go. Death is complete freedom from suffering and even after death they have spiritual work to do. To be tied to earth by someone's curiosity or unresolved grief is painful for them. Both parties need to let go and move on with love.

First thought was Rupert Brooke

I think because of similar images my brain thinks world war 2 ..perhaps his life ended in a. Concentration camp.

Is he a woman?

I get a feeling of benevolence - he was a good man

I feel a lot of losses from this photo, there's a haunted look that spells trauma to me.

Looks like Frida Kahlo to me
