WW1 photos - Crewe & Nantwich
« on: Saturday 05 February 11 11:05 GMT (UK) »
Dear all, I am putting together a book THE GREAT WAR CHRONICLE AND ROLL OF HONOUR OF CREWE & NANTWICH and am after any period photographs from the area (memorial unveilings, everyday scenes, recruiting, munition workers etc.) especially men who died during the conflict that are recorded on the many local war memorials (not already submitted). If you do have a photo can you please send it to me (if via email can you ensure that the dpi is at least 300) or telephone me on 01270 560015. Thank you very much - Mark

If you are not already aware of it, I suggest you try the Great War Forum:
<http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/>
where you are likely to catch the attention of many knowledgeable people.

Hi mark
           Yes I think I can help, I have photos, letters, postcards, and medals including Widows Pennies from my Great-Grandfather and my Grand-mothers brother who both fell in the war, all so further info on the Photo that you have of Albert Locket who was my Grandmothers Brother-in-law.
I will get them out and scan them.
