Thanks for that China, date suggested would fit an ancestor born in 1894.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Complete:Mystery Lady
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 18:23 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone date this picture and a guess at her age.
Might may able to narrow down who it is then.
Could anyone do a bit of a restore and colour for me before she fades away completely.
Thanks
Woolley

Sorry for the late reply Salty,
That's a bit more info for the archives
I've been doing more research and it looks like the crew photo was taken between December 1915 and December, 1917.
In August 1914 she was requisitioned for trooping duties and in December 1915 was converted into the Armed Merchant Cruiser HMS Gloucestershire and served with the 10th Cruiser Squadron. She was deployed on 'E' Patrol between Shetland and Iceland with Royal Mail Line's Ebro.
I have a couple of other photos which I think are of Ebro taken from HMS Gloucestershire
in the aftermath of a sinking and rescue of casualties.
Did warships carry official photographers

No idea of a date, already posted on WW1 board.
Tried numerous times to clean it but failed, so would
appreciate anything at all.

Cheers Neil,
Hadn't a clue about the chevrons.
This second photo is date stamped 8 July 1916.
A blow up of cap band Looks like Gloucestershire.
Sorry Neil,
Eyesight must be bad it is 8 July 1918
