PHOTOGRAPHS

Here are photographs of the 22nd Battalion

If you have photographs that you would like to share, please contact me. I am especially keen to obtain copies of personal photo albums. Scanned copies preferred, but I am able to scan all formats of photos and negatives so that they can be electronically archived. Photos will be carefully handled and returned.
