I'm resurrecting this thread in the hopes of some advice.... I took these albums along to the Antiques Roadshow last year and they ended up being...
From Ancestry: Bertram Valentine Bibbs was born in 1880 (Scotland) and died 1966 (Herefordshire). In 1939 he lived in Hornsey, Middlesex (Ward of...
A recent purchase... presumably First Communion :-) [ATTACH]
Gosh, he looks a lot like 'Alf Garnett' to me, a 70s UK sitcom character played by Warren Mitchell :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Garnett...
The writing is difficult to read, but I can see 'Wartburg'... I found this old image too and a few similar ones with the two towers in: [ATTACH]...
Thanks, I'm going to see if I can find out some more by writing to the Warburg Castle Foundation and then maybe I'll have it reframed :). It looks...
A few more photos, including close ups (best I could do, given reflections & lighting): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Looks to me like...

Wow, I love this album. Albums like this sell well online (if you ever take that route), but like you I would prefer these items to be returned to...
I should probably have used the word 'likely', not 'definitely'. My initial impression when I saw this postcard was that the men looked Asian,...
These are excellent photos... love the one of the man with cymbals!
Thanks everyone! You've confirmed some of what I was thinking - military training camp for the second postcard, plus rail depot. Must be in...
I've bought these postcards ages ago, as part of a large & varied bundle. They've been hanging around ever since. Old and very faded, I keep...
Thanks, I think so too! I bought a whole mixed batch at the same time but this was the one I really wanted... ;-)
