I think you need to give a bit more information, for example was your family member in the war, did he have a large war profile, any prisoners? It's very hard to tell if it is a mess hall of soldiers wounded and eating, or mess hall of of soldiers who just came into town, or a concentration camp photo for example.

If you perhaps post information on your relative that you feel might have had access to or took the photo's it might help retrieve a good answer, otherwise it's hard to tell where they are.

The only info I have is that my Grandfathers brother( Gnr.NeilJohn McInnis)served with the No.10Halifax Siege Battery in WWII.He joined on April30,1918.I believe the flag in the photos is The Canadian Red Ensign(1922-57 version).I am assuming he was either in the picture or may have taken it.I don't know where the photo was taken,but I am told it looks like a Regimental dinner.I also believe my Grandfather's brother Donald McInnis was in The Great War-I have no other info on that.Any other info anyone could give would be Greatly Appreciated,Joslyn

By the uniforms and medals this photo was likely taken in 1945. Dinner for soldiers returned from WW II?

You posted this query to a section devoted to the War of 1812, when photography did not exist. I suggest that you would get better results if you were more careful to post in a logical place.
