Can my grandfather Willie Winton be cleaned up?
« on: Monday 16 October 17 12:29 BST (UK) »
I've just procured this Postcard featuring my grandfather, Willie Winton, standing outside the family business just after WWI - but it's a bit 'tatty'. Can someone please apply the usual does of magic and improve it for me?  ;D
