Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Buck Family (Croydon)
« on: Wednesday 06 March 19 12:58 GMT (UK)  »
Good Afternoon all,

would anybody be able to help by repairing the two below photos ?

just looking for the creases to be taken out and for them to be repaired as best as possible.

I think both photos were taken on the same day and looking at the age of my Grandma I would assume this is from around the late 1930s

Thank you in advance
Joe

World War Two / WW2 Regiments
« on: Thursday 23 August 18 07:54 BST (UK)  »
Good morning all,

I was hoping somebody is able to help me, my Great grandfather fought in WW2 I have a picture of what I believe to be his cap badge as I found it recently with a box of his old things (see attached)

He was born and lived most of his life in Guildford in Surrey so I was surprised to see that his cap badge is from the Sherwood foresters. how Common was it for soldiers to join regiments that are miles away ?

I would have thought that he would have been placed in a more local regiment ?

I should add that for all I know this might not even be his cap badge but I assume it is as it was with his things and what this regiment did in the war matches up with what I have been told he did.

unfortunaly he is no longer with us and died when I was 3 so I never had chance to speak to him, my grandad has now also passed away so he cant help either.

any help would be much appreciated.
