An American GI shows a youngster from Burton Bradstock how to hold a baseball bat Picture: Imperial War Museum
DISPLAYS of kindness to strangers are everywhere at the moment.
And although we are all having to practise social distancing, here's remembering a time when we didn't have to be 2 metres away from people!
This photo was taken in Burton Bradstock and shows by a War Office photographer and shows a GI joining in Dorset village life and showing a youngster how to play a very American game - baseball.
Apparently the young boys were fast learners and became very good at the game! Thanks to the Imperial War Museum for this image.
