Restoration Please
« on: Saturday 11 March 06 00:59 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate help in enhancing this photo of Duncan Ritchie,private 13706 of 6th/7th Bn. Royal Scots Fusiliers who died 31st July 1917 aged 21.
John came from Crossburn Cottages,Loans,Troon,Ayrshire.
Colouring attempt would be great.

Hello Skippy
I am sorry but I can't answer that.The photo I have is not coloured.I assume he would have worn the colours of his regiment.
There is a memorial at Menin Gate.

Hi Anna


Not to many layers - one for each of the 4/5 colours - easy the next time  ;) ;)
