WW2 photo of great uncle
« on: Monday 04 December 06 02:22 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone be so kind to remove some of the wrinkles in this photograph?

  This is my great uncle William Copeland who joined the Blackwatch in 1939, and later the 5/7 Gordon Highlanders. He apparently had quite a torrid time fighting in North Africa and Sicily, shortly after which his parents received a letter stating he was 'missing presumed dead', only for him to turn up on the doorstep some months later.
