Wide variety of images

[Deborah Hyland]

I've spent the past few days in wonder at the great CW images up on this blog.

Telegraph operators, contraband, civilians, naval images, and more. Most in high resolution.

They're too good not to share.

Friends-
THis website is such a great resource. Too easy to lose myself. I will be sharing this link with the department head of the HS where I used to teach. Truly a picture is worth a thousand words!

There are actually quite a number of prewar images, but they're not at all indexed.

There's this occupational photo of a locksmith, this of a man with an iron, these children, five sisters from the 1850s, etc.

I wish there were a better way to search, perhaps by date.

Kearny's Men Wounded at F'burg 1964

great images with crutches, knitted socks, and I think, something that looks a lot like the melon hood.

I have seen both of those images for years and just now noticed they are the same location. It looks like the photographer just turned the camera a few minutes later.

If you doubt this look at the right of the brick wall and see the rectangular box under the window.

Thanks,

Interesting to see somebody taking care of toenails.

This has always been my favorite picture. There's just so much said in it with the wanna-be soldiers attention fixed on the cavalry and the little girls oblivious to the war.
