Title: Wash & Brush Up
Post by: gralorn on Monday 19 January 09 16:14 GMT (UK)
Hi,

Can somebody help me to achieve two things with this recently found photograph of my Grandfather. He was in the RFC during the Great War and survived, but this shows him in some Regt. My quest for my Mother is:

a. Have the photo cleaned up (Cropped from mid-puttees is fine)

b. A close up of the cap badge to assist in working out with whom he served.

Thank you very much in anticipation.

Graham

Hello Graham
I'm afraid only you can do a close up of the badge.You need to rescan the badge only at about 600 dpi and put it up on the armed forces board.
