I would like to use the Galle Face Hotel Still, IMG622 in a New Zealand television documentary. New Zealand soldiers stopped in Colombo on their way to the Gallipoli Peninsula and many went to the Galle Face Hotel. We filmed at the Galle Face with two grandsons of soldiers who visited there in 1915, so I would like to use IMG622 to show how it was in the day.
