very damaged please restore
« on: Wednesday 30 March 11 04:30 BST (UK) »
I am not sure if this can be restored, it was a postcard sent to his wife before going to ww1 and he died 1918 in France.  It was sent to me via internet so haven't the original unfortunately but would be grateful for any repairs possible. Harry is seated and am not sure if the young men standing behind are his brothers.  They look like twins.
Many thanks
Merl

Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.

That looks terrific, such a great job.  I thought it may have been too damaged-- but you have shown me that you are all very skilled at photo repair
