English: A Middle East Soldier Revisits Britain- Life in Wartime Glasgow, Scotland, UK, 1943
A scene of every day life on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Men and women go about their daily business and a number 3 tram can be seen on its way to Moss Park (via Paisley Road). Three cars can be seen driving along the almost deserted road. Shops visible are Red Hill, Cook's and Lumley's. The large YMCA building can also be seen in the background.

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
