Imagine my surprise to see this yesterday:
The "unident(ified)" person, sitting on Lord Halifax's left, smoking a cigarette and looking half asleep, is none other than my father, Colonel Denis Capel-Dunn!

"24 October 1945 - The United Nations officially came into existence, as the United Nations Charter took effect.
Here's a photo of the San Francisco Conference earlier that year with Britain's Lord Halifax, Tom Connally, Harold Stassen and unident. others John Foster Dulles sitting at conference tables during sub-committee meeting of the Conference to adopt the UN Charter." The "unident(ified)" person, sitting on Lord Halifax's left, smoking a cigarette and looking half asleep, is none other than my father, Colonel Denis Capel-Dunn!

Oh well done for finding this!
ReplyDeleteSome years ago now I wrote to the Cabinet archives people to see what might be available and was sent several pictures but not this one. I think they were far more interested in seeing whether I could identify various people they couldn't - as if !
I've just posted another one! I'm not sure but I think the photos come from the Time/Life archives.
