The man, second from the right, seems to be saluting with his left hand. I wondered if the image had been mistakenly printed in reverse.
I appreciate Ray's observation and Servatius's explanation. The term realistic is so apt when I saw the reverse. Unbelievable how much better this photograph is in reverse.

Thanks Ray,
Although the image is actually as shown initially, I've flipped the image so that it's more realistic.
