Military Photographs
« on: Wednesday 19 January 11 13:45 GMT (UK) »
Does anybody know where I can get old Military Uniform photos identified? I have several but cannot identify which regiments they are from. This would help with naming the individual ancestors whose military details I have. many thanks for any assistance

Found this 'buried' on Useful Links board but it's really an Armed Forces query so perhaps someone here can help  :)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

It is VERY rare that the team here cannot ID a photo....


We are all VERY good

In fact, I will be doing this very thing at WDYTYA live at Earls Court  in FEB...I have been asked in  ;D :o ;D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
