We see two unidentified brothers here at the end of World War II (1945). They are in front of their home. It looks to be a new home in the expanding suburbs. The boys are on a rather basic door slab. Earlier homes would have had porches. The snapshot shows the boys withb their Easter baskets. Notice that their are four baskets. Either they are for their parents or the boys have sisters. The baskets may contain candy, but the main purpose was for an Easter Egg hunt in the family yard. The eggs would be brightly colored. I'm not sure if the boys helped color them, but in later years this was common. The boys look to be about 4-9 years old. The younger boy wears a short pants Eton suit, we think with a beret. His older brother wears an Argyle skeeveless sweater with knickers and knee socks. The knee socks seem to have a colored top. We do not have many examples of boys wearing knickers after the War.
