What rot! It`s not even the first man-on-man kiss in this particular film. Just before the intermission, when Jack and David are being awarded their medals, the one-armed French officer kisses both men on both cheeks.
I find my solace then in bottles,
And I forget them axolotls.

If you have the time, Framus61, watch that scene again. In awarding medals, the French traditionally kiss the recipient on both cheeks, just a peck, really, but this officer was nuzzling their necks.

I found an amazing similarity in looks with both Buddy Rogers in Wings and Lew Ayres in All Quiet On The Western Front.

The scene is very intense and the kiss in lingering and emotional .. two friends saying goodbye I am not sure Wellman or the 1920s audience would see it is "gay".
A pity no-one got to ask Buddy Rogers what he thought of the scene (maybe they did ???)
