Mystery family in amazing 1950s snaps tracked down in Cumbernauld thanks to Glasgow photographer

A family has been reunited with a poignant set of snaps taken more than 60 years ago after a Glasgow photographer discovered them gathering dust in a charity shop.

Glasgow-based snapper Gary Alan recently picked up a large box of vintage photography equipment from the Recap goods recycling charity in Cumbernauld. The professional photographer was amazed to find his purchase included a number of family photos.

Several of the images showed a family on holiday in Oostende, Belgium, in the 1950's, with one taken in a back garden next to an Anderson shelter. There were also two portraits shots featuring unidentified men in naval uniform.
