Good afternoon all 

It's taken me months, but I've finally restored the majority of my photos using Photoshop.

I sent them all off to truprint, but the results were very disappointing color wise. Brown toned photos turned out red, black and whites turned out purple etc etc.

I think i'm going to print them all off at home now, but here's the dilemma - my printer is AWFUL. I'm going to have to buy a new one.

Has anyone ever printed off their own family photos and had good results? What kind of printer did you use?
What kind of paper did you use? I'm trying to get them as close as possible to the original, the originals are very matte, almost like they were printed on thick normal plain paper.

He is on the Boer War Medal Rolls as LCpl James Cutts 2nd East Surrey Regiment with the number 6556 same as WW1

Wow! I never knew this stuff, i'm not sure anyone in my family knows about this. Thank you!
Where can I find these Boer War medal rolls? I'd like to search this up and save it to my records

Searching the regimental number on ancestry, there are no results for my guy Damn!

Quoting the CWGC website. This was the entry for the death of my great great grandfather James William Cutts who was killed in action in 1916.

CUTTS J W
Nationality - United Kingdom
Rank - Private
Regiment/Service:   East Surrey Regiment
Unit Text:   7th Bn.
Date of Death - 02/04/1916
Service No - 6556
Casualty Type - Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference - II. J. 17.
Cemetery - VERMELLES BRITISH CEMETERY

I then came across a medal card for a James W Cutts who was in the 1st battalion East Surrey Regiment. The regiment number was 6556, the same as the service number of my great great grandad. I don't know if the two numbers relate to each other.. but is it possible this could be the medal card of my grandfather? (i've attached the medal card image)

Hi

Going out on a limb a little -

As William Cullen born 1831 is shown on 1881CR as a Master Mariner living at Ramsgate how about this for his father -

William Cullen son on Ric Cullen and Alice baptized at Folkestone in 1793 and buried there 1837 but residence given as Calais, France! (IGI)
It would explain him missing all CRs and possibly other members of the family living over there?
A closer alternative than Poplar.

Thank you for finding that! I'll note this down and have a look into it. I haven't yet had much of a look into the Cullens yet - Going to take a shot at that now
