Hi Laura...I have asked a moderator to move these to the Armed Forces Board for a more informed response.

Hi Laura,


I've had a quick try - not brilliant but a little better hopefully  -  By the time we crop out the background the file is very small.   ;) 

It looks less out of focus when made smaller.   :-\

Interesting - there seem to be two different cap badges.

Sorry Laura....but I don't see a request for them to be restored only a request for information on the photos.

Carol, my apologies I didn't word my post correctly.

I thought it was a given that old photos posted in this specific section would be restored.

Hi Laura...you could change the title of your post to include a " date and restore" otherwise the restorers may not look at it as the title is unclear as to what you need for your photos.

I can see 3 Regts. in the first also one man has a medal ribbon. It can't be from WW1 as he would have had at least 2 so maybe the SA Medal.
Pre 1916 tunics & I think the chap with the medal is TA.
The 2nd. is too blurred to be of any use but there appears to be medal ribbons on display but can't say from when.
One card back has a date of 1921 but I don't know which photo it refers to as there's 2 fronts & 3 backs.
Back to the poster.
