Title: A Big Ask! Could you repair, colour and date?
Post by: Jayne464 on Friday 13 September 13 17:51 BST (UK)
This is a photo of my grandad (on the right) and an unknown man.  Is there any chance you could repair, colour (if possible, but not essential), and date the photo please?  My grandad was born in 1889 if this helps with the dating.

Many thanks

Jayne

I wonder if he is wearing a silver wound badge in his lapel, "For king and Empire for services rendered" which would make  it during or post ww1. The cane may suggest a disability.

It's a possibility James as he did serve in WW1.  Thanks for your help.
