studiogh Posted 12 January , 2011 Share Posted 12 January , 2011 Hello to all, here's a link to pictures scanned directly from the glass plates we found in the attic of our photography shop in Bailleul, I don't know anything else about these pictures they sit in their box and I wanted to share them, just click on the pictrure below: you can also find another gallery related to WW1 by clicking on the picture below: all those pictures were scanned directly from the negatives, feel free to share them but please don't modify them in any way, thanks.

Chris_Baker Posted 12 January , 2011 Share Posted 12 January , 2011 On 31 March 2005 I wrote on that very page (it is still there on the first link, above) "This is a really wonderful collection. Thank you for making it available to us. I will bring it to the attention of more than 6000 members of the Great War Forum - let us see if we can make any identifications."

Chris_Baker Posted 12 January , 2011 Share Posted 12 January , 2011 That is true, Guillaume. By the way I have visited Bailleul on many occasions over the years. My wife's uncle is buried in the Communal Cemetery Extension, but I also visited several times when I was writing my book on the Battle of the Lys. I have always liked the town but was really delighted to see the restored fountain behind the Town Hall - a very nice feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 12 January , 2011 Share Posted 12 January , 2011 It's now listed on Amazon, which says 21 April ... the last I heard from the publisher is March, so I am not sure how that all works out. Around then, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 12 January , 2011 Share Posted 12 January , 2011 Great pictures - I wonder why the RA Gunner/Driver in the first batch on the top row right has his bandolier over the wrong shoulder? Will be checking out the book Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegeGunner Posted 13 January , 2011 Share Posted 13 January , 2011 I wonder why the RA Gunner/Driver in the first batch on the top row right has his bandolier over the wrong shoulder? Because the plate is reversed? If you flip the pic, the man's posture looks more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cubin Posted 14 January , 2011 Share Posted 14 January , 2011 Can't view the pictures either. Get a small red cross where they should be. Odd. By the way, which Bailleul are we talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usa2uk Posted 14 January , 2011 Share Posted 14 January , 2011 Can't view the pictures either. Get a small red cross where they should be. Hi John. I have the same view - just click on the red cross anyway and it will take you there. Amazing photos. I have a vivid imagination at the best of time, but I am always stunned to silence when viewing any photos of battlefields and trenches. What all of these soldiers witnessed and endured cannot be praised enough.... Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cubin Posted 14 January , 2011 Share Posted 14 January , 2011 Thank you, Jason I feel a bit dim for not having tried that. As you say, superb and moving photos. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(nzef) Posted 14 January , 2011 Share Posted 14 January , 2011 Great photos. For those who are only seeing a Red X - right click the X and choose open link in new window - that should help. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, the battlefields pictures were taken in la Marne in places called Sapigneul and Beaumarais, the first place was fully destroyed and never rebuilt. regards, Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
