Connaught Ranger Posted 5 July , 2005 Share Posted 5 July , 2005 I noticed in the newspaper obituary for L/Cpl Hugh McAnally 6 Connaught Rangers in the Ballymena Observer that the photograph was credited "Photo by Young" How could I find out who this was? I wonder do negatives exist, possibly in a museum or a roof-space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 5 July , 2005 Share Posted 5 July , 2005 'Con' - bit of info for you ... he is listed as having joined 6th Cons. pre-May 7 1915. About Young's .. I don't know. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lund Posted 5 July , 2005 Share Posted 5 July , 2005 The British Newspaper Library might be able to take a photograph of the original picture from the newspaper it appeared in, I am getting them to do one for me so I can see what sort of quality these type of photos produce. I think it all depends on the state of the original. I haven’t had a firm price back from them yet, but I am expecting them to ask for somewhere around £22. If the photo you mention is special to you it might be worth a try. http://www.bl.uk/collections British Library Newspapers Colindale Avenue London NW9 5HE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 5 July , 2005 Share Posted 5 July , 2005 I'm sure you have this Con . but this digi image from the old paper may be some use? I know spelling is wrong .. but also worth noting no cap badge ... early days of the Kitchener mob? I reckon he must have been 'in' very quick.

Tony Lund Posted 23 July , 2005 Share Posted 23 July , 2005 The photo I have received is probably around the same as the one above for clarity and quality. Tony. (They are filling hand grenades) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
