Default Bill Elms collection

I am told that when Bill Elms died his collection was photographed prior to being put up for sale. Does anyone know who took the photos. Or, does anyone here have copies of the photos? I have about a dozen but they are only the Cavalry regiments.

Clive, I may not have the full story, but I was under the impression that Bill Elms collection is in the 48th Highlanders museum.

Ask Larry Will about some images he found at a flea market or antique store. They look very similar to that example.

Oliver, Was a folio of these images prepared for other collectors or the historical record?
