    "An incredible collection of photographs documenting the life of a British soldier in a First World War German prison camp have been discovered in an attic after 100 years.
    Clifford Garner, who died in the 1970s, kept the collection of photos taken during his time in the prisoner of war camp, but even his relatives had not seen them.
    In fact, the knew very little about his military past until his grandson Darren Bailey, 51, discovered the photo album wrapped in an old khaki prisoners uniform in the attic of his mother's home in Blackpool.
    Mr Bailey said: 'My mother passed away, and when we were clearing her house out we found the photos.
    'They read 'souvenirs of my captivity in Germany'. It shows him playing football, they did gardening and grew their own vegetables. They looked like they were well looked-after.'"
