Source

Photo appeared in a report on his death (1 December 1934) printed on page 1 of the defunct Sunday Dispatch newspaper the following day (available via newspapers.com), where no photographer credit is given.

The following have been checked:

  • All other newspapers for that day and a few days after available at British Newspaper Archive
  • All other newspapers for that day and a few days after available at newspapers.com, as well as a selection of newspapers from preceding months in which he is mentioned
    • None of the above use this photo
  • All published books on the history of Gillingham F.C.:
    • The "Gills" (1980)
    • Gillingham Football Club: A Chronology (1984)
    • Home of the Shouting Men: Complete History of Gillingham Football Club 1893–1993 (1994)

    • Gillingham F.C. on this day (2009)
  • Several hundred Gillingham matchday programmes across a selection of years, which generally include an "it happened on this day" feature or other articles on club history have been checked
    • All of the above contain details on Raleigh's career and/or death but none use this photo
  • The following other books have been checked:
  • A Who's Who of Hull City (1984)
    • Contains a pen picture of Raleigh but does not use this photo - as his Hull City career was very brief it is not believed that any other books on the club's history would spotlight him in any significant way
  • News Of The World Football Annual (latterly Nationwide Football Annual) - 20 different editions ranging from 1986 to 2010
    • All contain a section on footballers who died while playing, including Raleigh, but none use this photo
  • Encyclopedia of British Football (1983)
  • The History of English Football Clubs (2013)
  • Football League Players' Records 1888 – 1939 (2004)
  • Soccer: The Records (1985)
  • Boots, Balls and Haircuts: An Illustrated History of Football from Then to Now (2003)
  • Football: The Golden Age (2004)
  • Encyclopedia of British Football (2020 - different book to the above)
    • None of the above use this photo
  • As none of the above use this photo and the newspaper in which it was found does not credit the photographer, it is believed that after reasonable enquiry it can be deduced that the photographer's identity is not recorded
