Can this be colored?
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 22:38 UTC (UK) »
The subject is in the uniform of the Royal Irish Constabulary. Wikipedia says the uniforms were "dark bottle-green" Of course the belt and hat bill were black.  And my Dad says his father's eyes were blue.  Smiley

Hi Tom

Hope this is okay.  I can't do the buttons totally black (which is correct colour) as you wouldn't see them against the dark green so I hope these are okay.  BTW The insignia should also be black.

Regards
Caroline

To everyone who colorized this photograph-I am absolutely speechless. Wonderful. A thousand thank-you's to everyone from myself in sunny Florida USA and from my Dad in Boston, Masachusetts.

This is a superb photo. Could I ask the owner to consider posting it in my web forum dedicated to RIC genealogical research? Visit us at http://irishconstabulary.com
