Jan Kubiš was a Czech soldier, one of a team of Czechoslovak British-trained paratroopers sent to assassinate acting Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia, SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, in 1942 as part of Operation Anthropoid.

Hi Nicky. Your Mum looks a little cutie doesn't she, and it's an interesting photo given who is with her. Would it be possible though for it to be scanned at a higher resolution as when enlarged for restoration the detail is lost in your Mum's face. A much clearer result will be achieved when scanned at 300 or 600dpi, rather than the 72dpi version here. Cazza's Scanning Tutorial http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=198165.0 provides a useful downloadable pdf file on how to set your scanner to do this.

Can you tell us the story behind this interesting photo please Nicky? :)
-
Jan Kubis was stationed at Moreton Paddox during ww2. My mum lived there and hence the pic. The Czech soldiers were there for most of the war. Moreton paddox also had a visit from Winston Churchill. I have those pics too.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped it's much appreciated.
-
Thanks for the explanation Nicky. A really interesting piece of history, and some great restores. :)
-
Nicky are the pictures of Winston Churchill at Moreton Paddox available?
Best wishes

Just as a footnote if anyone is still reading this topic - he was slaughtered with the others in the crypt of a church in Prague after the assassination had been carried out. There was another man, Bronislaw Kubis who was serving with the Polish Air Force and was killed in 1943 who looks very much like him and could easily be his brother.
