I'm glad this resource has been of some use. Thank you JenB for pointing out the search facility for that stream. I had used the main flickr search facility and it was throwing up thousands of pictures that had nothing to do with my ancestors. Now I've been able to search that particular stream within minutes. Unfortunately, none of my ancestors were on there.

Thanks for posting this.  Have found two relatives already.

From what I can make out it only covers 1915, hopefully more will be added.

Thank you for the site, very interesting, but if you are searching, from back to front there is not usualy enough info to pin point, but other way round ( which I suppose most people do) could be a gold mine.
Jay, were by chance the ones you found Wilsons ? As am still searching, mainly from the Tyne.

I was hoping my grandad & relative would have been amongst them, but iv'e been told these photo's cover 1915, is this correct :'(

My grandad was Robert Casey. 6371 K.O.S.B, he was admitted to the Sunderland Royal Infirmary
late September 1914 after being wounded by a German dum-dum bullet, he did give an interview to the Sunderland & Daily Echo which appeared  October 20 1914.

Also a relative John William McIntosh, he was killed in action in the first few weeks of the great war breaking out, he served with the DLI.

I never got to see my grandad so a photo now would be wonderful, also J W McIntosh i thought with his death in which his name appears in one or two books on DLI would hopefully turn up.

All the best to all ;)

No they weren't Wilson's that I found.

Hi -Just a bit more on this. I'm told that the fact that there are no pictures from post-1915 is because they are subject to 100-year copyright restriction. But the 1916 batch are being copied by Newcastle Libraries and should be online early next year.
