Japanese boy carrying the body of his younger brother who died during World War II, 1945. He was standing, waiting attentively for his turn for the cremation pyre to which he took his little dead brother, the author of the photo stated in an interview:
"The boy was biting his lips so hard not to cry, so much that blood came out of his lips, the guard asked him for his body and said: give me that burden that you carry there."
To which the boy replied: "he is not a burden, he is my brother" he handed over the body, turned around and left.

Yes, the much celebrated 303 Sqn, of which in recent years, two biographical/fictional accounts of the unit's participation in the Battle of Britain have appeared. This aircraft was one of the stars of Hurricane, released in 2018.
