1940s Britain: Man smoking pipe, reading newspaper while listenning to gramophone record.


Interpretation of a pipe-smoking white middle aged man in 1940s Britain listening to his gramophone player while reading latest war news. Middle-aged men during the second world war could be too old or unfit for miltary service. They may however take on voluntary roles in the homeguard, as ARP wardens or firewatchers, while holding down their usual jobs which could be in one of a list of so-called protected occupations.
