The subject is a South African. If it was first published in South Africa, then it is OK (50 years after pub), but if it was first published in Britain -- likely as the VC is a British award, then it is 70 years PMA and may well not be out of copyright for some time. .

- I believe that this photo was taken in 1917/1918 when he was awarded the medal. He is only wearing one medal - later on in his career he would be awarded more. 1918 would meet the 70yrs rule. Gbawden (talk) 06:45, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
- The UK rule is 70 years pma (post mortem auctoris -- after the death of the author), so unless the photographer is known to have died before 1942, the image is not PD if first published in the UK. . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:08, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
