Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. I think I'll go with the sticky notes, since I can print them from my computer and no one will have to decipher my hand-writing.
I did discover yesterday that some of them were identified by myself over 50 years ago (helpful stuff, such as "my house"!) -- and I did indeed use light pencil.
Now to deal with all the ghosts that are coming back to life as I sort through this stuff.

I don't want to ID them, I want to send them packing!

I've just been watching Michael Moore in Trumpland, and I can't identify the theme played at the end. I think it's from some war film, but can't place it. Has anyone any idea what it was?

It's Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance No.4.

Thanks! I woke this morning thinking Elgar and have just run it down. I just knew it was British! And hence a bit out of place. But oops about film music! OTOH it would do for it, final credits as the camera pans over the graves of the few - including Poles - listing DFCs etc.

Two related questions. We decided to blow away the cobwebs today by visiting the ruins of a medieval church, surrounded by graves of varying ages. The wall round the churchyard is oval shaped. Is there some significance to this? One of the medieval gravestones had a symbol which I think I've seen before, but can't identify. It's a cross potent, but with a triangle on the bottom leg of the cross, like a 4. What is it?

I have seen it suggested that oval or circular church enclosures are a sign of being a sacred site prior to Christianity. But it was in book about yew trees which for a number of reasons I found not wholly convincing about the trees, and I think my doubts should perhaps be extended to other claims.
