I think that the common ground of them being soldiers gave them a connection.
My dad has a book on the unofficial agreements between soldiers in the trenches: there's a lot of evidence that the front line soldiers didn't see the men in front of them as the enemy, but rather the rather better dressed people behind.
If you are referring to the soldiers on the photo, I noticed after I posted it that the one on the left has the badge of the French and German Legion on his shoulder.
