A hoard of haunting never-seen-before wartime photos have been unearthed, including keepsake family shots of soldiers who never returned home from the Great War.
The treasured pictures provide an astonishing glimpse into the private lives of fresh-faced young soldiers and their families more than a century ago.
But the unique images also betray the changing mood of Britain as the fighting dragged on and families began to mourn those they had lost.
The photographs would have been valuable heirlooms and priceless memories for loved ones left behind.
One picture shows an old man, indexed only as Mr D Haley, pulling a “gurning” expression of the sort popular at the time.
Another shows a little boy in an officer’s uniform and a third, two women hired to drive Doncaster’s trams while the men were at war.
A lady can also be seen with a necklace on a locket that she’s left open as if she wants to get her husband or whoever it is into the photo.
Among the stories of those who did not return is that of Private John Glasbey, seen with his wife, Mabel, and their daughter.
They had married in 1911 and he died at Passchendaele, six years later.
