Reginald Hotlby 1908 - 1980
« on: Saturday 03 November 18 13:35 GMT (UK) »
Hello

Please could you help identify the British Army Uniform of Reginald Hotlby 1908 - 1980 who lived in Beverley, East Yorkshire, England all his life (except for the War of course).

Unfortunately all those in my family who knew him have all passed away and so I am trying to piece together as much as I can about him and make it accessible to the public on Ancestry.

If it's not too much to ask would it be possible to remove the crease on the right of the photo and the blemish under his chin please?

Many thanks in anticipation of your kind help.

Hi Neill, I forgot that I had started this one and not finished it, so here is my version.

 I have also asked the Armed Forces Board to take a look at the uniform for you.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Hi Neill

I see that you've had some good restores of your photo but you don't seem to have been back for over a week. I hope all is OK.

I did this attempt a while ago on my laptop.
