Thanks for the colour one Tommy.

Thanks for yours also Wiggy. John is on our War Memorial and one of his relatives gave me this battered photo so we could add to our War Memorial records. We are compiling a Book of Remembrance to the people on the War Memorial, over 700 from our local community fallen in conflicts from WW1 onwards. The latest being a local lad killed in 2011 in Afghanistan.

The book will be placed in the local Library for all to see. To put a face to a name always helps.

Thank you for your contribution Yvonne which I will add to the others. I have already downloaded the previous restorations and given them to the Secretary of the War Memorial committee who is thrilled with them. When I meet up with the family member who loaned me the original I'm certain he will be well pleased with the results.

Thanks again everyone,

Ian

Another for your collection.
Restorers : Please do not use my restorations without asking my permission first. Thanks.

Good quality size scans will mean much better restores >> hint hint :-)
