This gallery is made up of photos which I have recently come across. There are a few from the First World War but mostly from Second World War taken by my Grandfather who carried a small pocket size camera with him all the time. He was in the Royal Engineers and was at the very front line building and repairing bridges for the advancing troops. He also was amongst the first to enter Belsen POW camp.Some of the photos have short descriptions in pencil on the back about where or who the shot is of, so I will give any info I know with each photo. I Wish I had been able to ask him more about these images before he passed away in 1994. I am putting photos on as I get around to scanning them so there will be plenty more to follow....
