My Grandmother in the Fire Service
« on: Thursday 01 November 07 22:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi there
Is it possible for some kind soul to work their usual magic on my Grandmother.  The photo was taken during the war in 1940 and I would dearly love to see her clearer as she seems to be fading away.
I have posted photographs on here in the past and I have always been delighted.  Gail

Gail,

I've taken the liberty of cropping and standing her upright. I hope you don't mind.
