These are photos distributed to newspapers and these particular ones
were from Acme Newspictures. Most are from the war in the Pacific,
some are from Europe and some from the homefront.
There are lots of very interesting photos here and I've stated
scanning them and putting them online at
http://homepage.mac.com/bobhudsoncom/PressPhotos/PhotoAlbum47.html -
if you see something you're interested in feel free to make an offer.
There are two types of photos: ones that were printed direct from
negatives and have a caption on a separate piece of paper, and ones
that sent from the war zones using a type of fax technology sent via
shortwave radio. Those have the captions printed on the photo and
don't have the quality of the ones made direct from negatives.
