I have an old photo which looks as if it was taken in a WW1 Prisoner of War Camp. It was in my mothrs possessions with no notes so I do not know who it is. However Ive had a note from genes saying possibly one of my relatives died during the war. Is there anywhere I can have the photo looked at and maybe get info on whos in it? Help would be appreciated. Thank you

I've had loads of these messages from Genes saying 'perhaps' your so and so died in the war. Some of these 'soldiers' died before the war!

As to your photograph; I've got one of soldiers in hospital. I've got no idea who they are.

I don't think there is a specific site where you can have your photo examined.

You may be able to find out yourself; did your grandfathers serve in WW1? Do you know what happended to them? Ancestry has the Soldiers that Died.

Good luck
