Soldiers & Sailors, Belfast WW1
May be of interest for anyone with relatives in WW1.
In April 2013 a box of old lantern slides was found in the organ loft of Alexandra Presbyterian Church in Belfast. The images were of soldiers and sailors from Castleton Presbyterian Church, Belfast, who served during the First World War.

A Belfast website is displaying those pictures and is asking anyone who might be able to identify any of the men in the pictures to get in touch with them.

A play based on the lantern slides debuted in Newry in September 2016.

In 1986 a book of the photographers work was published and it's still available.
