  • Hello David,
  • I wonder if you would be able to post the photo of the soldier below. Arthur Burrows is my great-uncle and there are no extant photos of him in the family. We would love to know what he looked like. Along with the other members who have posted their thanks, I would like to add mine, for the terrific work you have done in setting up this resource.

I know I can buy it, but came across this forum & thought may as well try.

If there's anything I can do in return, let me know.

Not really sure what I'm doing, hope this works?

Many thanks
