http://freepages*family.rootsweb*com/~treevecwll/frypz*htm .......... (replace * . I believe it is of Joseph Thomas Fry as it says there on the website. I have the original - Under the pic it says what looks like 72 Winchester Salisbury then the other side a U or H Light (Name of someone?) and centre what looks like some kind of logo, but is there anyway from the picture I could Identify what regiment or anything like that? Thanks

Hi I've just looked at the photo and it says under it 'Joseph Thomas Fry, photographed c1876 in Winchester. Photograph kindly provided by Elaine Varney' I cannot see the U or H you are referring to. Bye Paul

I know that doesnt show in the pic on the website but I have the original of it here. That is what it says on the bottom. I was asking if anyone knew how i could find out a regiment or what war or anything, even who would have taken the picture if there is any photographic history buffs out there
