Dear Sir/Madam

You may well already have seen these, but some photographs of ‘British’ army soldiers (so for that, read Australian and New Zealand too), taken on the eve of the Somme, have recently turned up in France. Having lived in Australia, and indeed lost one of my own relatives at Gallipoli, I know how precious these memories might be for some. Hope they are of interest/use!

With all best wishes,
