How would that help with identifying the family? Might not even have been a death there, could be anywhere.

As we have no idea who the family are, how would this help?

Sometimes postings of officers from prominent family's would be noticed the major newspapers. As the place in one of the photos is Jerusalem, its not a bad idea.

Dont forget the British army was in Palestine/Jerusalem for the British mandate. It may date from that period in history.

Scouseboy,

May I suggest that you might like to do some searching for newspaper reports in The Times, rather than asking other people look it up? Though as groom says, if we don't know the name of the person, looking in The Times isn't going to get us very far is it? Maybe you can work some of your magic?
