[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 369134, member: 481"]Hi, I have a batch of photos and I'm trying to identify the man in them. The biggest clues come from a set of WWII photographs, but I'm still struggling and need help. The back of this photo says 'Taken in Cairo, 2.3.42' and is signed 'John': [ATTACH=full]126661[/ATTACH] I know from other photos that 'John' is on the right. I recognise the RAF uniform :) Then this next one, with 'John' on the left - can anyone tell me what the shorthand (letters & numbers) on the kit bags means? I can make out 'Henderson' and R 4 8/7S (or 75). On the back is written 'Taken 1942, the desert'. [ATTACH=full]126662[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]126663[/ATTACH] And finallly, just for interest, this photo of a Wellington bomber: [ATTACH=full]126664[/ATTACH] Thanks![/QUOTE]
