This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 21st of July 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
We hope you enjoy looking through our collection, you are welcome to download and share our images for your own personal use, as they are to our knowledge, in the public domain. If you would like to use the images for commercial purposes, please contact us and we can provide a High Quality Digital Image for a fee.

In the Teso region of Uganda, Cordaid and partner organization SOCADIDO support female farmers who struggle to maintain their livelihood because of climate change, land depletion or a lack of tools and agricultural knowledge. Cordaid and SOCADIDO provide seeds, tools, technology and training.
The program started in August 2017 and has been implemented in 9 sub-counties in Teso and supports 9000 farmers in total. The main objectives are threefold: increase food production, reduce post-harvest losses and improve access to finance for the farmers.
Each participating farmer received 2 kilograms of seeds, mainly black-eyed peas, corn and vegetables like cassava and potato, which they plant in a plot of land of about one acre.
All 9000 participating farmers are put into groups of 30. The 300 farming groups are trained on harvest loss reduction, how to organize savings and credit and improve economic activities.
Each sub-county also has a marketing association. That is where the farmers collect their produce reserved for the market after they put aside all they need for their own consumption. The farmers get paid per kilogram of product sold. The association connects the sellers and buyers.
"The problem was that they had a poor bargaining position and often had to sell their products for a bad price", says Tom Edul, Program Coordinator for the Female Farmers Deserve Better program. "As a group, the farmers are much stronger and better equipped to improve their income."
Another vital factor in raising the value of their products is the possibility to save the harvests for a longer time. In some cases, the time of year greatly determines the price of the products. By providing the farmers with special bags, called PICS bags, fruits and vegetables can be saved for months. Now they can wait for the right time to sell and get a much better price.
The successful project is about to end in a few months, but SOCADIDO is eager to extend and expand. Edul: "We really want to continue. The results are great, and we have really made a difference in the lives of these farmers. Our methods of distributing PICS bags, providing tarpaulins for drying the harvest, which increases the quality of the produce, and the implementation of irrigation systems, are unique in this region. The farmers truly appreciate our efforts and they now have the confidence and courage to sell their products on the markets for a reasonable price. They can sustain themselves and even grow their businesses."
During the Jazz Age:
Daisy still had no knowledge that her 'boyfriend' David, the Prince of Wales, was in her house. It had been months since she had seen him. As Daisy was getting ready to leave home in her blue outfit, LaVern phoned from the theater where she was performing to tell her that Clara Bow had brought him there, claiming that he was in terrible condition, and saw to it that he took a bath and then went to sleep in one of the guest rooms.
For an instant, Daisy felt forlorn. His 'vacation' had given her rest from his pressure to say yes to his proposal of marriage--a marriage that Daisy had come to feel would be politically impossible, given the scandals that marked her life.
She also had come to feel alienated by some of the qualities that she had initially found refreshing: his lack of seriousness, his romantic nature, his carefree pastimes. Now, she saw in those qualities a deficit of intelligence and depth. Furthermore, Daisy felt she had seen a serious character flaw in him as he seemed indifferent to her torment as she faced the crisis of hoping to find her missing daughter Pammy.
"David," she thought, "Do I have to face him now?"
As if he sensed Daisy's anxiety, her cocker spaniel Alexander--Sandy--jumped up on the table next to her. As she petted him, Daisy said, "It's okay, Sandy. I won't let the blue of my outfit symbolize my mood. I just have to concentrate on the things that matter--and deal with His Royal Highness later...
