Prue
-tried but it wouldn't send to you . It was in the jpeg size-but it said error  and listed jpeg as a correct size to send.

I did crop and enlarge it - the  emblem near the shoulder had a circle and 2 light , Or white  markings in it  , one over the other  --the name of the country or unit was not readable.

I'm wondering if it might be worth tackling it from the photgrapher's end again?

Jaywit gave the link to him:

http://www.jewisheastend.com/boris.html

and someone else mentioned the JewishChronicle. 

Maybe a piece in that newspaper with a copy of the photo might trigger someone's memory or someone may know of any Bennett negs/photo collections.

Hi Gadget-

The Bennett studio is history-- I contacted the people who bought it in 1963.  Nothing was available from the studio.  The Bennett family is gone.  There are no negatives  available to search.   I also contacted several museums that do have B.Bennett's pictures  hanging in their collections.  Nothing  -----

So  the picture isn't much help --maybe  if it was posted in a London  newspaper  !!!  I wrote to the Daily Mirror  about 10 days ago , but have had no response .

Not sure that a National daily like the Mirror  would be any good. I think the Jewish Chronicle would be better first of all:

Hi,
I did have a look in here when it was first posted but couldn't think of anything useful to say.
However, the sugestions to post in a newspaper is a good one.
Even better I think, might be a Genealogy magazine.
I'm sure there is a UK magazine the does exactly this kind of thing. One of our Australian ones does but of course it won't help in this instance.
Anyone out there buy those magazines on a regular basis? Or even scan through them in the news Agency?
Someone in the wider community may recognise the photo.
At least worth a try.

Leonie.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the situation ... (and welcome Quilt-Lady, by the way !) ... but have you sent the jpeg you say you are having trouble with down-loading, to Gadget via email ?   She can PM you her private email, and you can send it to her to post for you ? 

Fascinating thread ... and if anyone can crack this one, I'm sure its Rootschat members !

Hi Lydart

Yes, I received it yesterday and managed to convert it to jpg  (from .eml) but it can't be enlarged - too small. Pels tried with one of the progs she has but it didn't work.

I think Quiltlady sent it to Gadget and Gadget posted it, but couldn't enlarge it. A couple of pages back.
Unless Gadget deleted.
