 Shocked Shocked Shocked WOW!!! 

Thanks to everyone for these amazing interpretations of Eddie's photo..

Jim - those leaves are a wonderful touch, as OT says very poignant, thanks so much!  Grin

Genechaser and Jim1, thanks for your lovely coloured versions, a lovely way to remember Eddie 90 years on.  Grin  Grin

Genie fan - that's an imaginitive interpretation of the photo, which really brings home the horrible reality of the life and times that these soldiers endured - I love it, thanks so much!  Grin

Eddie is my Grand Uncle, and this photo and his name and that he died young from something war related is pretty much all we know about him.  Cry  These WW1 soldiers deserve more than obscurity, so thanks to you all for giving Eddie a remembrance spruce up for the 90th anniversary of the end of the war! I really appreciate all your hard work.  Kiss

kind regards,
