Gentlemen,

I am very excited to say I have been loaned a small photo albumn, belonging to a former British tank Commander who served in the desert under Monty. He also 'drove' ashore in a DD tank on D Day. The photos are those which he took during his time in Africa. Each photo is rather small, but I am trying to scan them into the document centre at my office, and will email them to myself, so I can present them on MLU. Failing that method of copying, I will photograph them, though i expect that will not be as good in quality.

They are certainly worth looking at. I see there are at least several threads which may be a good place for them. Is there a preferred thread for them to go to??

Can't wait to see them Tony! Perhaps give it it's own thread in the Sergeant's Mess just for that album of images?

Tony I can high quality scan the photos and email them to you if you like

Thanks Cliff, that might be best.

I did get them scanned at work, but they went through as pdf files and stayed on their sides, as that was the way I fit them on the glass platen. I incorrectly expected to be able to rotate them prior to posting. Still trying, but will post then 'as is' initially, if no success.

Added 1900hrs: Unable to upload the pdf files. Too large, apparently.

Hello Tony,

It all depends upon what program you are running - there are some scanner programmes that allow you to select JPEG. The PDF option seems to be becoming a default function lately. This is a pain in the arse! The JPEG option might be a better way to go.

I have found that sometimes when a forum's "Manage Attachments" tells me that a file is too large to upload I add an additional step. I paste the image into "Paint" and save a copy. I then attach the Paint version and it seems to let the attachment through the system.

No I am not trying to teach Granny about various methods of removing the internal contents of an egg

Kind Regards
Lionel

I've sent you a PM on how to send them to me to fix for you.

Just stumbled across this MASSIVE repository of all things military, from virtually every conflict in last several hundred years. Everything here from Hiroshima photos and scientific research, to a Service Manual for the T - 34 tank.
