Grovetown Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 Does anyone know if the original files - especially the photographs - used to compile de Ruvigny still exist? Cheers, GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 de ruvigny " No second edition of the Marquis de Ruvigny’s Roll of Honour has ever been published. What you are viewing is a copy of the original and only edition. " I think what we see must be the original version. Where the originals are kept, I don't know? " It includes nearly 7,000 photographs of the deceased soldiers, sailors and airmen. Like all old photographs taken from printed books, some are of a higher quality than others. Indeed some were taken from newspapers at the time of original publication. " Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Mike Content for the book was, I believe, amassed from biographies and photographs submitted mostly by parents/ wives of casualties. Consequently, I was wondering what happened to those original images....if not returned to the sender. For instance, I have a tunic to a casualty featured in de Ruvigny and the image quality in the N&M reprint is rubbish (as often the case with N&M). It would be brilliant to find the original pic and perhaps get a copy of it. Cheers, GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflory Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 G.T.: There are other reprints of the De Ruvigny Roll of Honour than the N&M Press version and some of the photos in that roll of honour are available in other rolls of honour. What is your man's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 10 October , 2013 Share Posted 10 October , 2013 GT I agree with Rflory, if you give his name I will see if he is in the two original issues I have with better quality pictures than the reprints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wood Posted 28 October , 2013 Share Posted 28 October , 2013 I wonder if Charles or Geoffrey Trevor-Roper is in either of your two volumes - or in any other source? Better photos would be great! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wood Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 Those are the two - they look like the Ancestry images? I am hoping they are in MuseumTom's original volumes and hence better photos might be available (especially Geoffrey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 29 October , 2013 Share Posted 29 October , 2013 They are in volume four which is not part of the original two volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
