Image from 3x great uncle Thomas George Moffatt' service record. Faded
« on: Saturday 08 August 20 10:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am having trouble reading this letter written by my 3x great grandfather Joseph MOFFATT. It is in his son Thomas George MOFFATT's service record. Thomas was killed in 1916. Can anybody help to develop the photo so the writing is easier to read?

Thanks

Ryan

I'm very sorry I have tried several different ways, but I can't make the letter any clearer
