Someone posted a link to photos from the times of the British colonial period in southeast Asia and then deleted that post. With the post the URL disappeared. It was a fantastic link. I've been going crazy trying to find this link to share again because I think these photos tell us so much. I can't find the link in the post that was made, but I found another link that I hope will help us all find more stuff to share and eventually lead us back to that link that was shared that was total gold. If anybody bookmarked the link that was deleted, please share it. I know all of you agree with me that those photos will haunt us forever. I'd sleep better being haunted by them and being able to look at them when I'm awake, just to respect them and honor them.

Friendly admin to the rescue, I can still see user and mod deleted content. Usually it's a curse, but I'm glad it can help for once.

Is your link any one of these?

Thank you! These are great and yes, it was one of those. I'll take all three, though! They're all really good.
