Tim Gidal (1909-1996) was one of the founders of modern photo-journalism. His first picture story 'The Vagabond Congress' was published by the Munchner Illustrierte Presse in 1929. Moving first to Jerusalem, he came to London in 1938. By 1940 he had over forty stories published in Picture Post magazine. In 1942 he joined the Eighth Army as a photographer working for the army's Parade magazine, producing regular photographs and stories.
