There was a thread a couple of months back about famous unkown people and someone raised a point about war footage and not knowing the name of the video clip of the First World War of a soldier carrying a injured comrade on his back looking back while into the camera and how we don't know who this person is.
My grandfather is in a well used clip of the Dunkirk evacuation (The Peti-Officer looking into the camera when the soldier are boarding a boat). Is there any oraganisation that would be interested in this information?
I just get the vision of relatives of the guy from the trenches seeing him on screen saying "Oh there is uncle so and so..." but never telling anyone.
I was recently able to give footage to a guy of his great grandfather playing football in 1920, which has somewhat sparked my interest.
