Enlarging
« on: Monday 18 July 05 01:30 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I am trying to identify this ww2 regiment.  The photo was taken in Strathaven and the date is given as 1940.

I have been asking on the armed forces board, and someone asked me to try to enlarge a cap badge, which I did but it is rather blurry.

Is there anyone here who can perhaps select a badge and enlarge it so it is identifiable?

Here's hoping!

Nina ... Had a look at the photo in enlargement  ... (in Photoshop) ... but there really is no detail to be found in the badge ..

And if memory serves me correctly the badge cap badge won't show you which regiment it is but rather just the branch of service .. I think it looks like a RAF uniform ....

Regimental detail was for the most part identified by badges/insignia usually on the shoulders/upper arm patches ...

Someone correct me if I've got this wrong ... :)

Hi Nina,
  have you tried this site. http://www.militarybadges.org.uk/badges/badgestart.htm

As Gary says, zooming this photo up in size just pixelates the image.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies!

I got this far with enlarging.  Is it possible to make this image clearer?
