Tony,

I don't know of any web-sites with Henry Spalding's picture on.

There are images of Spalding held at the National army Museum, Chelsea, and at the old Staff College, Camberley, Surrey, now absorbed into the Sandhurst complex. Reproduction costs would apply.

The late Ron Harris used a group photograph of the 104th in the 1870's in his book "The Irish Regiments", this image was from the late Stan Kretschmer's collection, which sold about four years ago in London. Whereabouts of the photograph is now unknown to me.

Sorry I can't assist further,

John Young,
