Sapper Sales in Quetta

Oh no I'm the first 
Here's my version, it was a treat to work with.

Another version.

It was difficult to get him to stand out from the background. I guess thats a problem with camouflage colours!

(I think its ironic that the army, which robbed so many young men of their lives, should also be the source of so many wonderful portraits which keep their memories alive. If these men weren't in uniform and wanting to show the world how smart they looked, we probably wouldn't have even a small fraction of the pictures that survive to this day!)

Hope you like it Denn

This photo was to good to resist. I'm still not sure about the colour of the puttees, so if anybody knows please let us know and I will adjust the photo.

For lack of a floor colour I used the same cplour as Glen.

Ants

I ran an optimizer over it and it gives it a bit of...something extra.

Also thanks to rkaa and deadants,
       rkaa - did you get my last pm?


       I was always told by various family members that early in the morning of 8th June 1944 my Grandma awoke from her sleep in a terrible fright, she was later to find out that was the time Uncle Len had died.
