My Four Aunts
« on: Tuesday 10 June 08 14:38 BST (UK) »
Here are my four Aunts in thier uniforms with their little sister during WW2.I have been trying to get this photo for a while ,now it is in my hands I think they deserve a tidy up .
All three were in the Army ,apparently the two older sisters joined up and there was some problem with the next younger one.Family say the two older ones refused to go until little sister could go too .I think the problem lay with the Army not wishing to take 3 sisters from the family.
Could some kind person give them a bit of a spruce up for me please.
By the way ,the littlest one is the last of the family and was a bit too young to join up.
They have all passed away now and I would like to give my cousin a nice clean image of them.
many Thanks

Thank You soooo much Dave ,that's just wonderful .
I thought they were looking a bit crumpled ,now they do their uniforms justice.
Thanks Again

Oh they are really beautiful ,you are so clever.One of my Aunts daughters will just love them.

Thank You so much for taking the time and trouble to do this for me .I am absolutely thrilled with them ,only trouble is ..which one to put on the 'family wall ' .It looks like I will have to alternate them so they all get their fair amount of praise,and to see them in colour is something I never expected ,the black and white ones are so clear too ,oooh I can't decide which is my favourite .

My two favourite Aunts are in this photo ,one of them introduced me to Tomato Ketchup and the other had a wonderful cuckoo clock that used to pop out whenever we banged the kitchen door (much to my Uncles displeasure).

Thank You All again ,you have brightened up a rather annoying day for me
