When I began this web project back in 2004, my main aim to uncover the long-lost missing group photograph of C Company, 16th DLI, taken by the firm of Lambert and Weston of Folkstone in late 1942. That photograph has still not emerged, but somebody out there must have it. The search continues! Also lost to DLI history at the moment are the 1942 group photographs of A Company, 16 DLI and HQ Company 16 DLI which were presumably taken at the same time.

Of the 16 DLI group photographs listed here on the main site, I’ve managed to compile detailed captions for several, but others have very few faces placed. Here are links to some of those with the most mystery faces and where the most help is required. Do you have the identical photograph to any of those listed below? And, can you place the face of a relative on it? If so, please get in touch.
