Okay....maybe someone can help me with this.

We all know that FDR was handicapped & photographs were usually staged so that a wheelchair was not so noticeable.

However, in one of the pics on today’s newsarticles, there is a pic of FDR “standing” and shaking hands with Churchill.

Was FDR leaning on a crutch or using some sorta support for the pic? I presume so....

Thoughts?

FDR had leg braces, I would guess they were in use in the picture you mention.

Also note that he has his left arm braced on the railing behind him, and he is gripping it with his left hand.
