Joe ,

You already have the ones I’ve added to my Flickr account. https://www.flickr.com/photos/43688219@N00/albums/72157611949271367

Just had a quick run through of the men I have pictures for and here’s a list of the ones I have waiting patiently in the hopper for me to find time to research where the associated caption either references Lowestoft, Kirkley or Oulton Broad. This is more a heads up that the pictures exist and that you may want to check out local newspapers for the relevant periods rather than wait for me.

Like I’m say I’ve not researched them as yet so don’t know if any of those whose pictures were printed because they were serving \ were wounded \ taking prisoner or missing \ recived medals etc subsequently died. And of course I have a whole heap of pictures where no location is stated and so a Lowestoft connection may subsequently come to light.

The image source quality is highly variable, hence rather a lot of “?” where I can’t be sure of specific words.
