Title: Billy in WW2 for repair and colour please
Post by: oldtimer on Saturday 10 June 17 19:08 BST (UK)
Hi friends,

This is my mum's cousin, Billy Connolly, taken during World War Two.

Unfortunately it has a nasty crease through his face.

Any improvement would be much appreciated.

Thanks for looking!

Judy  ;)

I don't know why, but I can't seem to focus on his right shoe without it looking like there's no leg going into it - like one of those optical illusions. And, thanks, Judy for your lovely thank you. Peter.
