Photos of Servicemen

Having saved them from a skip, these seven images of U.S. Army servicemen were originally posted by Graham Sansome on the Bristol & Avon Family History Society Facebook group. They were from the Bristol Photography Studio with just a surname on. Detective work by group members helped uncover further details. More of the collections can be found here and here.
