Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I have been looking through some old photo boxes. Most of these type of shots are interesting mostly to family members. That's okay! Post them here!
Credit to the original photographer is implied.

Here's a shot of my Gramps from a slide to start:

Off-topic, but here's a picture he took while his plane was under attack, over Germany in late 1943 or 1944.

My late wife's father (center, with head turned) after being rescued at sea by HMS Venomous following his fleeing from Holland in a stolen lifeboat, May, 1940. He was a German Jew living in Rotterdam at the time of the German invasion; and as an "enemy alien" was sent to a labor camp in Canada after landing in Britain.

My paternal grandfather, a handwritten note in faded pencil reads "Paris 1916 Love Bert", I can only assume he was on a break from the fighting. He survived the Somme and getting gassed.
