More and more amazing youngtug!  If you are anything like me you are probably very attached to them already, though they do deserve to be on display somewhere. I can't get over the clarity of the photos - I am wondering if they were taken by a professional photographer. There must be some experts somewhere who could look at them and advise what you could do with them - National Archives? Imperial War Museum? http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections-research/about/photographs
Every photo has a story to tell - I would love to know more about what is happening in them - I'm sure many depcit very significant events.

PS. Are you able to read any of the names on the crosses?

PPS. It would be very interesting to know if there is anything written on the backs of the photos - a clue to who the original owner was. You should contact PrueM - she may be able to advise you how to 'unglue' a couple of them to check.
