Unusual WW1 photo
« on: Saturday 12 November 11 20:39 GMT (UK) »
I thought this WW1 photo might be of interest for Remembrance Sunday - it was taken at Doingt, probably in late 1918, when my grandfather was a driver assigned to No. 5 Advanced Photographic Section, Army Printing and Stationery Services.  (I'm not 100% sure, but think Granddad is the soldier on the right.)  If anyone wants to tidy it up, enhance, colour or anything, please feel free - I just like the "feel" of the photo!
