James Brown Posted 12 June , 2008 Share Posted 12 June , 2008 Hi pals Need some help to identify this memorial from a photograph I was shown by a workmate. His father was a photographer and took thousands of pictures in his time, and now his son (who showed me this pic) is retraccing his steps and is taking new photos from exactly the same angle only many years later and in different light. Any info about the memorial what wording is on it and most of all where it is would be great. Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
