William Troughton
A Regiment of Unknown Soldiers
– Hay Castle
Photographer D C Harries (1865-1940) recorded everyday life in a small Welsh town and its rural surroundings prior to the Second World War. After six decades, his business closed and thousands of glass negatives were donated to the National Library of Wales. Although no supporting documentation survives, there are many interesting stories to be gleaned from these negatives, especially his regiment of unknown soldiers. Troughton is Curator of Photography, The National Library of Wales.
