ROYAL ENGINEERS SUMMER 1948 ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL PARADE march-past photographed by local newspapers. How can we see these photographs, please?

Have you tried contacting the local newspaper? A local library may also keep archives. Just some ideas to try. I've also removed your email address. --Jayron 32 14:50, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jayron above, but to save you some searching, here are two resources that you could try:

1) Medway local history and archives have an enquiry and research service.

2) The Royal Engineers Museum website has a contact page.

Either of those may be able to find the photographs in their own archives, or be able to point you in the right direction. Sometimes there is a small search fee to pay. Good luck! Alansplodge (talk) 15:25, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About Cameras.

Hello I have a Argus camera. Model C685D, Could not fine it in Argus search. I would like to get some info on it for my collection. Thank you. T.S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.51.92.33 (talk) 15:15, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't see much either, but I did find the Argus Collectors Group web site, they have a page on which you can "Ask the ACG for Help". Alansplodge (talk) 15:36, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

LA cities

What are the 5 biggest cities in LA county? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.174.75.214 (talk) 16:07, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The top 15 are listed at Los_Angeles_County,_California#Cities. The whole list, sortable by size, is at List_of_cities_in_Los_Angeles_County,_California. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:11, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In case the OP was looking for cities by land area (biggest is vague), this list of all cities in LA County lists them by land area. It is alphabetical, and is not sortable by area, but it wouldn't take too much to find the 5 largest by area. --Jayron 32 16:16, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
