Looking for the soldier who was wounded in the Yom Kippur War and his wife
Renowned photographer Romano Kenioni toured the country during the Yom Kippur War and documented the battlefields and home front, including the well-known picture of Jonathan Avrech, "The Eyes of War."
In an equally impressive but lesser-known picture is a soldier whose face is covered with a bandage, which a woman hugs.

During his stay in Israel during the war, Kenyon apparently also came to a hospital where IDF soldiers who had been wounded in battle were hospitalized.
The soldier's left palm is also bandaged.
Behind him sits a woman who hugs him and her gaze shows concern.
The photo appears in the photo collection of the Romano Canyon Foundation.
Despite the intensity and pain that passes from that image, it did not resonate.
We are now trying to locate the soldier and his wife, in an attempt to know when and where the photo was taken.
Anyone who knows who the people in the picture are is asked to write to the email address: newsdesk@walla.net.il
