First time ever

Post by DRC »

Gentlemen

My father fought through the North African desert and then up through Italy, during this time he kept a photographic record using a hand held camera and stolen RAF photo reconnaissanceic film. After he died the photographs were passed to me and tonight I picked one at random from the carrier bag, this will be the first time that this photograph has been published. It shows my father and his friend 'Nipper' posing by a German tank that they knocked out on 'The Line' at Tobruk. I remember him explaining to me how they would lure the armour in and then destroy it, this photograph shows just one of their successes.

Now, can anyone tell me how to post the photograph?
