Hall who also lived in East Street enlisted in November 1915. Because he was a baker by trade he led a charmed life until late 1918, when, because of the need for men was killed in the fighting around Cambrai.
He was killed 13.10.18 fighting with the Seaforth Highlanders. ![]() ![]() |

I forwarded it to a friend in New Zealand whom I chat with every evening on Skype. With the fantastic sharpness of the images it led to an evening of searching on the internet as to what camera might have been used. We concluded it must have been a handheld camera by the type of subjects and how they were handled. It could have been a roll-film camera with size 122 negatives (roughly the size of a postcard), but there were also hand-held cameras using glass plates during that era. We tracked all this down by using the internet and is why I always insist I am still learning about photography. |

I have a photo of my mum born 1919 aged 8 in her class room b&w very crisp and clear, she told me the photographer just placed the film on the classroom windowsill and it developed there on the window while she and the class watched it develop.
