Wow!  :o  As a collector of found photography, these are some of the best I've ever seen, and very good quality, yes I'm a wee bit envious, I know that's wrong...  :D

Such amazing photos. Stumbled on this link, googling my Great Great Grandfather's name (Albert Davey Semmence). Sent chills through me seeing his grave.  Amazing seeing all these pictures. Would love to have been the one to find these  at a boot sale.  Never managed to find much out about Albert Davey Semmence other than that he was the youngest ever Regimental Seargent Major of the Norfolk Regiment, was killed by bayonet and buried in Basra.  My father has always wanted to track his grave down.  Amazing photos

WoW!!!!...So pleased for you...that is amazing...That's the power of Rootschat.
