This is for Laurent Truillet in answer to your question of Didn't they know about the dangers of Radiation?
Apparently they did as this man looks to be better protected than any of the others below. I doubt that you would strap on this getup just for fun.

ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret Siemers .
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one ! I would like to know for which application he was wearing this, probably not for medical.
He was a chief (see the stripes on his arm), and chiefs usually take no risk...
Laurent Truillet The captioning on the post said only that he was a Radiographer from France and the date.
ReplyDeleteSo what would a Chief in the French military do with radiation if not for medical reasons? I haven't a clue on that one.
Will Griffin Hot and heavy is right. One can only imagine how nice it must have been to take it off. : )
ReplyDeleteReally fascinating but also quite sinister too.
