Hello,
Would appreciate your wonderful skills in restoring the attached.
Many thanks

The photo is pretty small to work on a larger size would be more beneficial to restore.

Many thanks your efforts, very much appreciated.
Unfortunately this is the only photo I have which is from a newspaper.
Thanks again
Bonnie

What newspaper? Perhaps there is an archive I can access.

I've found this so far in just a cursory search:

Belgium: West-Vlaanderen LIJSSENTHOEK MILITARY CEMETERY (103)
Lieutenant ALBERT LEONARD DONALD HART 4th Bn. Australian Infantry, A.I.F.

His service record on NAA is worth reading.. letters concerning a psychic/ medium trying to clarify details of him in 1948 after his death in 1917.

Thanks for photo of his headstone. Have already researched to see if the newspaper where his photo appears online, alas no. 
Yes, his WW1 service record is an interesting read. Have been in contact with a relative and he gave me the background re the psychic.

Do you know which paper it appears in, and what volume/issue? I've found several Australian & Belgian newspaper archives and there are plenty of private individuals who collect them who might scan for a fee.

Have been told that his photo appeared in a magazine which I can view a copy of at the State library of NSW.
Thanks again your efforts
