What's with the high hair in the 1940s? Several posts down, you'll find a hairdo like this on Uncle Wally. Here you see it on Uncle Joe, who thankfully remains alive and well and can defend himself. Well, Elmer? Was Bryl-creem on sale, or what? That's Uncle Ed with our Elmer, home on leave after boot camp and before heading out to the beaches of sunny, bloody France. Perhaps Elmer's hair was raised out of sheer worry for his older brother. We could sure understand that.
Addendum: Elmer sent this comment: "It wasn't a hairstyle. I just never combed it."

Hair-raising
What's with the high hair in the 1940s? Several posts down, you'll find a hairdo like this on Uncle Wally. Here you see it on Uncle Joe, who thankfully remains alive and well and can defend himself.
