I'm writing up some material for a display, and have so far been unsuccessful in finding photographs of the following British naval personnel from WWI.  If anyone can help I would be most grateful

Rear Admiral John Luce 1870-1930.  He was captain of HMS Glasgow at the Battle of Coronel and the Falklands in 1914

Photo of the Captain of HMS Kent at the same Falklands battle.  No name as yet

Captain? Beamish of the Flagship Invincible at the Falklands Battle

Cheers
Tony
