Tidy up WW2 photo Sgt Jock Smith
« on: Wednesday 07 February 24 11:26 GMT (UK) »
Think the photo was taken in Egypt in WW2, my uncle Jock is on the far left of the picture sat on a motorcycle next to a standing clean shaven fellow sergeant.

I would welcome some restoration from the extremely talented people on this site.

Thank you in anticipation.

Thanks also to Handypandy who kindly sent a coloured version to me in a PM. He did it this way as he said it wasn’t meticulous enough - I think it’s terrific! Very much appreciated.
