Photo repair please of Pte.John RIDGE KOSB 1st battn.
« on: Wednesday 31 August 16 11:38 BST (UK) »
Hello, my Grandad John Ridge is sat down in the photo with his pals John Mahoney and Tommy Coyle. He joined the KOSB aged 19 in 1928 and this photo is very special to my Dad and I. Sadly it is creased and seen better days. If anyone can work some magic on it then I would be most grateful. Thanks Carolynn

Wow!!! Thank you so much to Carol (Treetotal), Handypandy and loord74 for your brilliant efforts in bringing my Grandad's army photo back to its former glory. I am so happy with the results. You've all done a fantastic job and I'm sure my Dad will be thrilled when he sees the photo too.
You're all wonderful people for taking the time and trouble to help me so thanks again.  Carolynn x

Thank you Tommy(tommyfromri) and Yvonne(ym foster) for your hard work on the photo repair.
I'm spoilt for choice as they're all so good. I'm going to get my Grandad's photo enlarged from one of the brilliant repairs and surprise my Dad with it as it's his birthday soon. Thanks to you all for making this possible. Carolynn x
