Found a few more pics yesterday at m-i-law's.  This is of Bob's father taken in West Africa in the late 20s/early 30s.  He is the left hand standard bearer, holding the Union flag. 

There appears to be a double exposure on the right hand side of the photo but we can't quite make out what it could be.

This is my great grandmother Kezia with my grandmother Gladys Maud taken around 1916. I always think Kezia looks like Eliza Doolittle before she was made a lady in this one  :) Apparently she was a keen member of the Cardiff temperance society and my father has early memories of being very scared of her as a young boy.

My 3xG-Grandad, Charles Beattie, a shepherd in Dumfriesshire. How did a venerable-looking old gentleman such as this end up (according to the local parish registers) as having been fined 5 shillings for fornication!  :o
