Re: Life Magazine, Feeding Time
Judging by those pictures I'd say it had nothing to do with any of the world wars. I'm pretty sure they didn't have any type of those vultures pictured. I'm pretty sure they are of the African variety as well as the corpses laying all over. I'm willing to bet that it was probably a genocide incident that happened in one of those African countries.  |

Re: Life Magazine, Feeding Time
The photos were taken by Margaret Bourke-White: they show the aftermath of the Direct Action Day, which resulted in the death of 4,000+ Hindus and Sikhs in Calcutta, India, in 1946. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Action_Day http://asianhistory.about.com/od/ind...ofindiafaq.htm http://chersonandmolschky.com/2014/0...-hindus-sikhs/ http://time.com/3879963/vultures-of-...-muslim-riots/ |
