Title: Dad's cousin killed in WW2
Post by: greenpaula on Friday 12 February 10 16:58 GMT (UK)

Hi
I know it's a very poor pic but the best I can get. I have faith in the miracle workers on here though.
Is it possible please to sharpen it up a little and lose the lines?

Hi Paula.
A bit darker, but not much better, beyond me I'm afraid

Hi Paula, It wouldn't happen to be Richard William Green by any chance?

Thanks so much Images of Time and Old Maid - both are so much better than the original.
Hi Squid978, sorry it's not Richard William Green, his name was John Gerard Turner, born in Bolton, Lancashire.

Hi Paula, I'm hoping he was in the RAF so went for blue greatcoat.

Bill.  :)

Wow Tony and Bill - these are great.

You're spot on Bill - he was RAF.

Many many thanks to both of you.  :)
