Famous pics
Seeing well known (and not so well known) images in private albums is not unusual. Given that they were not supposed to carry private cameras a lot of them became opportunistic photo collectors (God bless 'em).
I know from talking to many veterans that some photos in their albums were those they were able to grab, often as they left their units at the end of the war. Many former servicemen were in serious 'memento' or ''souvenir' mode at that stage and a lot of units had loads of photographs which were going to be destroyed. Again, great that you can share these with us Tony.
