 These pictures were made available to me by a friend, they had been in his attic in Halifax since the end of the war. The photographer is unknown at present, but these pictures are too Historically significant not to be displayed. Should anyone have compelling proof as to the photographer's particulars, I should be glad to credit him accordingly, and congratulate him on his work. |
