I hope that I've worked out how to post the image using a photo hosting site. So here goes. Fingers crossed!
Thank goodness. At long last I appear to have cracked it!

| Post subject: | Unidentified photograph of 9th Air Force Captain c. 1943-45 |
Good morning - well it is here in France! Whilst in England last week, amongst my late father-in-law's papers I found several photographs of a Captain in the 9th Army Air Force. These were taken at the studio of London society photographer, Vandyk Ltd., and so I presume that they date from the period 1943-45. However I have no idea of the identity of the officer or why his photographs might be with my father-in-law's papers (he was a Major in the Royal Tank Regiment serving in North Africa and Italy at the time). I'm attaching a copy of one of the images. If anyone can help me with the identity of the officer or offer any other information based on what appears in the photograph, I shall be most grateful. Ah - I have just realised that I have a problem! I don't know whether I can upload the image directly from my computer or can only do so via a photo hosting or other web site. Thus I'd be grateful for some help from a moderator or someone of greater experience on this site. Otherwise it might be a tad difficult for anyone to help me identify the officer without sight of his photograph! |

Ah well. Can anyone suggest how and where I might pursue enquiries in the hope of obtaining some more information concerning the unidentified officer? I've e-mailed the 9th Air Force but, so far, without any response. Any helpful ideas will be much appreciated! |
