Photo addition?

I see there is a photo of the subject in the external links. This is a good article which could be improved with the addition of a photo to the template for RN officers ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.194.127.36 (talk) 17:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're certainly right that we need a photograph for this article. I often upload public domain images to Commons, but I just can't find one for Baker-Cresswell. I've sometimes used a copyright book cover in articles, with a fair use rationale, but I'm cautious of trying to do it with photographs of people which are likely to be in copyright: hence the external link. Sooner or later, a member of the family will probably find the article and donate a picture, but if you have any ideas for speeding that up, please do weigh in! Xn4 22:59, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have just come across a wedding photo of Lieut. A J Baker Cresswell and Miss Rona Vaile of Epsom NZ. It was published in The Auckland Star newspaper on August 25th, 1926. Is this allowed to be uploaded here and if so, would you like me to upload it? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernzy (talk • contribs) 00:50, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
