Family I.D. of Dusty Negatives found 40 years ago in Cornwall

[relatedtoturnips]

If we could find a unit which was there at that time,

But we don't even have a date do we, in fact we don't even know why he was wearing the armband? I don't want to be negative, but I can't see how we could make a link. (Sorry no pun intended there!)

To me looks like around 1920 Jerusalem, British Officer. He is walking under the arch next to Burj Laqlaq Road in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel. Probably not long after the fall of the Ottoman empire.

Anyway. I off to watch salvage hunters!

Or .... he might have been on a secret mission SB.

The officer may have been  the most senior British officer in the City.    Therefore we may be able to discover his name by studying   references to British presence in Jerusalem.
Perhaps some Rootschat members do not realise (like we do)    of the significance   of his Collar  patches.

Over to you then SB - I'll be interested to see what name you come up with. Too many "maybes and might haves" at the moment as far as I see it.

I don't think Mr SB is up to that challenge, I'm afraid groom.

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

Joybaloo, I too can see Arms and Ales when I stand back from my laptop, and I think I can also see Green Ales

[Jool]

OH thinks it reads Tetley Ales 

[jess5athome]

I wonder if it says:

ABBEY
ARMS
GREEN
ALES.

Just a thought 

Frank.

I think it says Gales Ales.  Brewery established in 1847 in Horndean, nr Portsmouth.
