    This seems a worthy idea. Certainly potentially an answer for oft-asked request of 'How might I find a photo?':
    British Army Ancestors - British Army soldier photographs; a searchable database of British Army ancestors 1850-1920.

    Pre-1920.
    Impressively simple site to use.
    Repeated guarantee of free service reads as honest and open. (Looks to be backed by NA & FindMyPast. Not certain about that though).

    Chap in charge:

    Informs that there is a hope to expand the date range eventually.

    I saw this up on another forum. Nicely presented and a great idea.
