Title: Tidy up of photo please Hugh Young
Post by: ainslie on Wednesday 14 March 18 11:15 GMT (UK)

The attached is from a seaman's identity card but may show him in WW1 army uniform.  Hugh Young was born in 1892, and any tidying up would be a bonus.
Here's hoping!

Hi Ainslie,

Your photograph is really too small to work on, do you have a larger scan ?

Regards

Sarah

Thanks Sarah.  It is the best I have, a download from an online Merchant Navy record and probably from a passport size original.

I am always impressed with the results produced here and thanks to all for these .
In case you would like another challenge I shall be posting another, Hugh's brother, once I get it small enough to attach.
