The story of Sgt W.A. Alldritt

[DutchTommy]

In my search about the British internees in The Hague, Holland 1918 I stumble on two fantastic websites.
The tell the story of sergeant W.A. Alldritt who was a internee in The Hague in 1918.
There is a photo on the site who was most likely made in The Hague.
It cost me two weeks but then I found the location.

That is an amazing piece of research/perseverance to track down the location

 

With very little/nothing to go on, how did you find the location?

Lots of surfing on Google Earth.
And using OSINT tools like http://code.waag.org/buildings/#52.0856,4.2848,14

I have some more tips on my FB page "Finding the location WW1 & WW2"

I'm quickly lost by all this but impressed by those who understand it. Just read a bit about TinEye which can track where your images appear online. You can run but you cannot hide.

 

Tommy, there's a current thread for a photograph backdrop here. Can you use your cleverness to identify the location ?
