Thank you all for replying. Just to let you know, the copyright on the photos was renewed by the EFDSS. At one time they used a literary agent to deal with the photos. Today I have requested photos for my book 'A Secret Stream Vol 1.' and filled in and submitted the 'Commercial Copy Licence Request' provided by the VWML. In my mind this settles the copyright argument, unless I have made an error. So far I have had no reply from 'Getty'. The negatives remain with VWML, and there may have been a deal with 'Getty', however if you read the blurb next to the photo (link above) there is no mention of EFDSS. So far this stinks as far as I can see, however I will not bother the VWML until I am sure of my facts.
