Parr twins - Anzac
« on: Thursday 22 May 08 16:03 BST (UK) »
hi everyone, I have been helping out with the Anzac puzzle and have permission from Dell - Alfred parrs relation to put a picture on here for restoration. These are the Parr twins - Archibald and john who were Alfred Parrs brothers.
Please can you help?

this really needs to be rescanned at a higher resolution, say between 300-600dpi to have any chance of a good restore. This is scanned at 96dpi and a lot of the facial   details are lost

<-- Chomping at the bit to have a go at this one  ;D

Couldn't be of any assistance with searching for the families, but would love to participate in some small way.  Had any luck yet, diddy?
