A very beautiful series of photographs from the LIFE magazine photographer Ralph Morse, focusing on American soldiers and their English girlfriends in World War Two (1944). Hyde Park was apparently a beloved spot in more ways than one!
[note: I just (November 22 2012) discovered the online LIFE archives did something that changed and broke all the linked URLs; I will fix this at some point, but the original sources can be found by going through this set of related images in the archives ]
