army photo

I am happy with the information I have so far, but I will keep digging and if I find out anymore I will post it on the other forum, I am very grateful for your help Arkrite, and I agree about writing on the back of photo's, my parent have left loads of photo's but I don't know who half of the people are, but I can't bring myself to throw them away, I have witten on the back of my photo's.
 
all the photos you have are something to be cherished as someone who doesnt have any from early childhood I can appreciate the significance of them keep them scan them and post you never know what you will find out best of luck :)
 
I love to look at the every day life photos. They say more than the photographer intended at the time.Dont throw any good photo away. ( Not unless your afraid the kids might see it ).
You never now , in the future it might have its own thread on BHF.
 
Well good news (feel a bit of a plonker) I never thought to ask my uncle about the photo, so I emailed him a copy and he got back to me, my uncle Charles is in the photo he is second row down from the top third one in, he sadly passed away over twenty years ago, but at least now I know it is him on the photo, my uncle has told me Charles was in the tank regiment a dessert rat and he fought in Africa against Rommel, also in the battle of Casino in Italy and also in Dunkirk, I feel so proud of him. But he went through all of that without getting injured but at the end of the war got knocked over by an American celebrating the end of the war, and ended up in hospital.
 
hi mariew its good to know about the photo never know as said before when people see them it triggers memories so ask your uncle about some of the others that you have you never know! as for him being knocked over at least he was OK :) I had an uncle 21 when he was shot by one of his mates by accident cleaning a rifle on the last day of the war:(
