Title: Mystery photo
Post by: Ady B-) on Friday 12 October 12 14:59 BST (UK)

Please can anyone tell me anything about this photo.
It was discovered recently in a batch of photo's that my mother had saved.
I was hoping it might have been of my father but i cannot make him out at all.
His unit in WWII was The 157th Rly Con Coy.
Many thanks for looking, I might try and post it for setoration also if that is allowed.

Hi Ady,if you change the title to 'Mystery photo for restoration' then the talented folk on here will know you wauld like it working on.I'm sure they will be able to remove those creases.

Also it might be worth posting on the Armed Forces board,someone there may be able to tell you what regiment this is.You will have to change the title when reposting on there.

George.

I remember crinkly-edged snaps from the second half of the 1950s.
