Can you solve mystery of wartime photo?
A history project is asking for the public's help in finding out more about a mystery First World War picture.
Few details are known about the family in the image apart from that the photo was taken in Welshpool during the First World War.
Now the 'The Army Children of the First World War' project, set up as part of the commemorations of the centenary of the conflict, is asking people to come forward with information about those in the image.
The project's aim is to collect, preserve and share information about British army children and their history.
Clare Gibson, founder of The Army Children Archive said: "We know from the details emblazoned across the bottom right-hand corner of this real photographic postcard that the studio that produced it was ‘Anderson / Welshpool (in Montgomeryshire)’.
"A family of five are portrayed in the studio. At the front sits a girl in a lacy dress, with her two brothers standing behind her, no doubt dressed in their best. They are flanked by their parents. Their soldier–father holds a swagger stick across his knees. His cap badge is that of a fusiliers’ regiment, perhaps the Royal Welsh Fusiliers."
