temptage Posted 20 November , 2022 Share Posted 20 November , 2022 Your best chance is to look in newspapers of the day from the area they lived. Many hundreds or even thousands of photos were printed in newspapers. The best dates to look are just after they died or if nothing was printed for either of them, then you will have the long drawn out trawl through newspapers right from the start of the War. Its a ball ache, but it can be worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks Posted 21 November , 2022 Share Posted 21 November , 2022 You could contact the local archives, sometimes they will search the newspapers for free for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sometimes but not always. My local Library will do 30 free minutes of searching for you. Some others are unlimited, some charge from the first minute.
