Along with the image, the text and attribution need to all be clearly displayed 50% or 33% result in too many compromises. 66% is possible to enable a Featured list, Sound links though it still impacts on panorama images.

Wait for Me, Daddy

Wait for Me, Daddy is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff of The Province on October 1, 1940, of the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own) marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Street intersection, New Westminster, British Columbia. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren "Whitey" Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard. The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives.
