Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Family I.D. of Dusty Negatives found 40 years ago in Cornwall
« on: Sunday 25 December 16 17:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hello to Everyone. I wish you a great 2017
Thanks to everyone for the interest and help with my search. Based on your observations I searched the Imperial War Museum and found many similar photos. I am now sure the military photos are from 1915-1920 Palestine/Syria. I still have no idea about the family.
I am going to put the pics on www.dustysunbeams.co.uk very shortly so I can spread my search.
I am marking this item as closed here, as I don't think we can go much further. But I thank everyone who offered help and advice. You are a great community, and you have proved invaluable in pointing me in the right direction. Thanks again.

Bad editing on my part. The archway soldier is carrying a pith helmet in his left hand. I appreciate all your efforts, I too find a lot of fun in the chase. But the other military pics are landscapes, certainly nothing distinctive. And the family are just more of the same faces against hedges and walls. If no-one recognizes Grandpa I think we might be finished. I've added a couple more pics - looks like the officer's hands are bandaged! Thanks to everyone for your efforts.

I have no more buildings/houses. All other family pics have people but nothing to ID place. The 'military' pics are mainly landscapes. I've rescanned the sign as suggested, at 4800. I think I can see:
The ***********
Arms
************
Ales
Or maybe not. I don't think it helps, but it's fun trying.
Perhaps someone will say: Hey, That's Grandad!
Some of the negs are really scruffy. If I find anything useful I'll post immediately. Thanks for looking, my wife and I appreciate your efforts

Thank you all for your interest. Many of the other photos suggest a military link with Egypt.  Unfortunately they don't help with ID. No idea about the house. But I'd probably not post any more, don't want to get into trouble with you all.

Hello, thanks for your advice. I have tried twice to upload some photos but they don't seem to appear on site. Perhaps because we can't be sure if the people are still alive. Perhaps I haven't been a member long enough. I'll give it one more try and then try something else. Thanks for your help anyway. I love this community.

About 40 years ago in Cornwall I acquired a wallet of old scratched dusty negatives, source unknown. I threw them into a box of junk and forgot about them. I recently found them again and spent days cleaning and printing them. I have no idea who the people are. Is this the right place to post a few in the hope someone can identify them so I can reunite them?
