hello all
please look at this photo , my husbands auntie Ellen gave to me in a packet with lots of old family photos but sadly nothing is known about this photo
we don't have a yr a place or if any of the family men are in it
could anyone help be trying to see which army section some of the men were in i can see on the hats that they have different badge's on but thats about it ,
can anyone tell me where i could take the photo so some one could look at it to give us a clue
when i look at the photo i think how brave these men are to have gone to war and how happy they look just to be in a little bit of peace, be for some would have had to go back and fight
brave thats all i can say brave just like are soldiers today
thanks for looking at my picture and reading my message

Hi Angie
If you read Cazzas tutorial on scanning, she tells you how to reduce the size of your pics -

Sounds like your picture would probably be better posted on to the Armed Services board. Someone on there would probably be able to help you!

Hi Angie,
I'd guess the photo was taken about 1915.
It's probably a Convalescence Hospital.
Many large family homes were used as hospitals and convalescence hospitals
during the first world war.
Someone may recognize the house.

update on my photo
hello everyone
well after lots of help from people on this site i emailed the war museum in manchester this is part of the main one in London
this is what they said
its from the 1st world war and also it is one of the thousands of rest homes for injured solders that were in england at the time
Sadly because we have no other info on the photo that is were the story ends ..................unless someone recognizes the house which i don't think anyone will .................so this is it for the photo mystry .................but i wonder what is going thought there minds while this photo was taken .............
well keep looking at the photo
and once again thankyou to everyone who helped me
Angie
