Simon Birch Posted 18 December , 2022 Share Posted 18 December , 2022 The link below will take you to the Wellcome Collection and 7 aerial photographs. All I think are interesting but the bottom four even more so, as they show a British attack launched in 15/09/1917. In the last one, if you zoom in, it is possible to see the heads of British troops being 'the first men in.' Am no expert on aerial photography but I cannot recall seeing anything like it before, and so I post this for interest.

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 18 December , 2022 Share Posted 18 December , 2022 Amazing. Just shows the clarity and detail these old prints and negatives contain. Makes a change from some of the poor phone grab shots that are presented sometimes with requests to ID badges and shoulder titles. Thanks for posting.
