Still not who I mean - he's sitting with his head down and the man behind him is leaaning over to speak to the man next to hyim
Third time lucky? I would say that’s not a British helmet though. The guy next to him with no helmet looks like he might be wearing battle dress though. Might also just be wishful thinking.
Thanks for the advice. I have a flatbed scanner but it’s painfully slow and actually not that high res. I generally use a Google app called PhotoScan which gives quick results but not great image resolution. As file upload size is limited though there’s no point aiming for anything higher. I generally don’t filter the photos I post here but do when I put them on instagram. I have lightroom on my iPad so might run a few shots through it just to see.
British POWs - St Valery. I did a double take when I saw “The Laughing Cow” sign on the shop - hadn’t realised how long that brand had been going.
I'm dreaming one day that you will post pic my father in one of these pictures you keep putting up. Guess million to one odds, but ya never know .
A couple of curious ones here. These came from a series of photos which appeared to show some kind of border checkpoint. The seller claimed in their description that these might be captured resistance fighters or Jews. If these were from 1940 I don’t think either is likely and anyway, I thought the standard way of dealing with Resistance fighters was to shoot them on the spot. Also seems unlikely they’d take their suitcases. They caught my eye purely because there appears to be some British Officers in the background of the first photo.
