Perce Blackborow. He stowed away on the Endurance led by the awesome captain Ernest Shackleton and ended up being part of one of the most amazing survival stories of all time. There’s a young adult novel about Perce called Shackleton’s Stowaway. Plus look how cute he is with that cat.

When a reporter asked Rita Hayworth “What do you think when you look at yourself in the mirror after waking up in the morning?” she replied “Darling, I don’t wake up till the afternoon.”

Eugeniusz Lokajski

(1909-1944)

 

Polish athlete, gymnast and photographer.

After the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, Lokajski joined the Koszta company, the staff defense unit defending the commanders of the Śródomieście (City Center) area. The commander of his unit knew Lokajski from before the war and decided to use his photographical talents and provided him with a camera, with which Eugeniusz Lokajski started to document the fate of the Warsaw Uprising. Throughout the 63 days of the Uprising, Lokajski took more than a thousand of pictures, each of priceless value for historians.

 By the end of the Uprising, on September 25, 1944, Lokajski was attached to the Headquarters of the Armia Krajowa as a photographer. His main task was to prepare photos of important AK soldiers for fake German documents, which would allow them to evade captivity and continue the struggle. Lacking materials, Lokajski went to a photographic shop to continue to be able to perform his duties. He was unfortunately caught in an artillery barrage and was killed in the ruins of the house.
