Restoring my Grandfather - Irish Guard
« on: Monday 19 May 08 22:59 BST (UK) »
I have attached one of the few pictures I have of my Grandfather in military uniform. As you can see its in very poor condition. If anyone could help me restore it I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Conor

Hi Conor,

This is a very nice picture to have, the restorers are marvelous on here, so I shall watch this one with great interest!

I do love to see what fabulous work they do, I am not capable of doing it myself you see!
