Please brighten up Maurice REDWOOD
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 08:41 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

If you have time, I would really appreciate it if you would brighten up this young man.  He lied about his age and enlisted in WWI at the age of 15.  Unfortunately he was killed - very sad.  I'd like to include his story in the family history I'm compiling and would love his picture to be a bit more snazzy.

Sorry for the quality - it's taken from a newspaper picture.

Thank you...........JJ

Thank you so much Steve, Japeflakes and Pat.  I love the colour and can't believe you've all turned a dark newspaper print into lovely photographic images of him.  You've helped smarten Maurice up nicely, I really appreciate your time and talent.  :)

Merry Xmas......JJ x

Hi Brit2015 & Carolyn,

I'm sorry for my late "thank you" reply - have been distracted by the festive goings on and haven't check my emails for a while....

Thank you so much for taking the time to work on Maurice - you've made him look like the sweet young man I imagine him to be.  Hope you both have a lovely Christmas.  Thanks again.

JJ Girl  :)
