[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 67353, member: 481"]I bought these recently because they seemed to have some history to them... they came in a small lot. Three are identified, one being William Haggard of West Bradenham (Norfolk, UK) and two are his sons Jack (John?) and Andrew Haggard. There are plenty of family trees on Ancestry, showing that H Rider Haggard (the author) was also a son of William Haggard. And the man on the fourth (unidentified) CDV shows some likeness to the images I've found on the web of the author himself.
