On the photo is Arif Heralić, not Alija Sirotanović.
Ovo nije Alija Sirotanović, nego Arif Heralić, radnik čeličana u željezari - Zenica. Fotografija je nastala negdje 1954/5 i po njoj je urađena gravura za novčanicu od 1000 Dinara, kasnije nakon devalvacije 10 Dinara. Ovakva greška je napravljena u knjizi jedne kazi istoričarke socijalističke fotografije i propagande.
