mancpal Posted 6 April Share Posted 6 April Matt, your best bet with regards to a photo would be to search local newspapers. If he was wounded, captured, recognised for gallantry, got married etc then you might be lucky. If your man had an ‘unremarkable’ war then it’s far less likely as recruits weren’t routinely photographed upon enrolment. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan1892 Posted 6 April Share Posted 6 April I have searched Hertfordshire newspapers held by the British Newspaper Archives but I'm afraid nothing came up for your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
