Guest MPD Posted 20 December , 2014 Share Posted 20 December , 2014 Please have a look at The Great War Memorial Archive - www.ww1photos.org. We set it up a few months ago as memorial to serving British men and women using original photos. The photos are mostly informal, training at home, on leave, with family and friends, with the intention of commemorating these extraordinary people as individuals rather than the dead. It's fee and non-commercial; we've had no funding, nor do we seek it. Viewers are invited, if they wish, to submit photos of their own to create a broader community. The response has been fantastic, with the archive more than doubling to 1050 plus in three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Posted 19 January , 2015 Share Posted 19 January , 2015 An excellent collection of photos and it would be really great if we could add names or units to some of the unknown. So please take a look and perhaps we can add detail to many of these unknown veterans, who gave so much. Best regards Pompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
