can gg Uncle be improved I want to post on Armed Forces

[terry h]

Hi Everyone,

This is a picture of my gg Uncle John Adam Burn. He is the one on the left. He was born in 1862 in Lilliesleaf  Scotland He was still there in 1881 working for his father as a blacksmith aged 19. Then he dies in Louis Trichardt 3/7/1899 S Africa aged 37. I think he was at the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir (I think 1882) because of further info I have.

I am trying to find out a bit more about him I would like to know what the uniform is.  I want to do a post with picture on the Armed Forces forum but feel the photo needs improving  before I do this. (Would also like a better picture for my tree).

The original photo is small and very light. I have saved as 300 but can enlarge to 600 if needed.

Hoping someone can help.

Many thanks

Terry

Hi Mudge and Genechaser,

Thank you both very much for this, they're great.  I'm hoping someone will be able to identify the uniform. Will now have to get my query ready to post on the other forum.

Again many thanks and much appreciated as always.
