A World War One researcher in east Belfast is asking for the public's help to trace the relatives of a Royal Irish Rifles soldier.
Soldier Arthur Mulligan is believed to have lived at 9 Utility Street, off Donegall Road in south Belfast.
Two bibles containing photos of him, other soldiers and a number of delicate items have been given to Jason Burke, a researcher from the community project, East Belfast and the Great War, in the hopes of reuniting them with their rightful owners.
Mr Burke said he had been given a "treasure trove of information" and told BBC News NI how the 100-year-old items came into his possession.
