Good morning,

Got you now Rudolph, so do you think the pictures are in Krefeld or was he a traveling photographer?

Kevin, Edinburgh house only came in to use in 1962.

Thanks John915.   I thought Edinburgh House had a longer history. It was always a pleasure to stay there with our Military colleagues.

The information is that two paper copies had been made in Krefeld (British Zone),

Hoven is not a traveling photographer, he has made the paper copies.

The negative film might be exposed in Berlin -
or at an other town ...

Thank you to all of you, I will have to do some more research. From the photographer's address I suppose it's possible that my cousin was wrong and the club wasn't in Berlin but was in Krefeld, where I have been told the British Army arrived before Berlin.
