I have contacted his old regiment museum, National Archives & the Army archive, but no luck yet, although am still waiting to hear from Nat Archives, so theres still some hope.<BR/><BR/>chrish - I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with anything much though.

I'm not sure who all of them are either, I keep meaning to take them up to my Auntie's house so that she can have a look through them.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754036163763172951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-674149658993323372008-11-18T20:18:00.000+00:002008-11-18T20:18:00.000+00:00I can't believe she burned all those old photos!

When she died we went through everything trying to find several important old photos Richard remembered from his childhood, but nothing. My grandmother went to the other extreme and kept everthing! Trouble is we've no idea who most of them are of. Note to self, write names on the back of photos!claire phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313963622279623204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-61833551666966295382008-11-18T19:15:00.000+00:002008-11-18T19:15:00.000+00:00That's a shame about the photos.

Obviously, because he asked me to do it I was able to take them all home with me. My family (the women anyway) have always been hoarders and I have huge boxes of family photos going back generations. Sadly with some of them, I don't know who they are and there's no one left to ask.HelenMWaltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182100572365505905noreply@blogger.com
