WW1 photo
« on: Saturday 22 October 05 12:18 BST (UK) »
If anything can be done to improve this photo, I'd be really thrilled: it's a piccie of my grandfather (who died before I was born) when he was a driver in the ASC during WW1.  The photo was taken in Namur, probably in late 1918.

Many thanks!

Fade corrected in PSP after removing negligable marks. Slightly noise reduced in neat image & then slightly sharpened.

These are all lovely - so crisp compared to the original!
