Clean up needed for a war hero please
« on: Friday 05 September 08 03:01 BST (UK) »
Can Uncle James be cleaned up please?  This photo was taken in Salonica in June 1945.  James was serving in Greece with the No 1 Bomb Disposal Platoon.  Unfortunately he died a few days before the war ended. 

Would really appreciate whatever can be done with this!

Thanks so much, 
Anne :)

Here is a clean up from me.
Unfortunately I got a bit carried away and thought the chain fence was a crack.
Looking too close, sorry, it was too late before I realised.
Hope it is still ok.

Hi Anne
That's the main problem with this board, we hear so many sad things :(
What a pity to make it so far in such a dangerous job, and be denied the peace they had fought for :(
Here are 2 from me of a very brave man.
Sorry I haven't done it justice.  Can you post a larger higher resolution image to get some better results?

wow - thank you all SO much - this is great!

What a nice surprise when I woke up this morning to see such great restores.  You have all done a wonderful job on this treasured photo - can't wait to let the family see them.

Thanks again, Anne  :) :)
