Another Neilston soldier
« on: Saturday 25 January 14 22:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi Folks
Can you please fix this soldiers picture, David Kean survied the war and died an old man. Can I thank you all for the help over the months with this project, every time some one sees a reworked photo and the magic you people can do, I get another person sending me a loved ones picture to save and get fixed, This has been fantastic and has helped me put pictures to the names of the soldiers that served from the Parish of Neilston. Along with the photos more often than not, comes more of the lads history to be compiled into the data base, Cheers People, I love Rootschat its such a great site.


Many Many Thanks Matt

Hi Matt
I know it's a bit late from when you first posted this photo but here's my version - I've tried to keep it as close to the original as possible.
