Title: Sgt Christie AIF - Clean up Please
Post by: Rochdalian on Wednesday 14 May 14 13:17 BST (UK)
Hi
If possible could this Australian soldier from WW1 be made more presentable please.  We don't quite know who he is except to say he is one of three Christie brothers from country Victoria who served.

Thank you

Bob & Helen

Hi

Thank you Irene, Tommy & Carolyn for you contributions to make Sgt Christie presentable.  If I can make one comment about the hat, the turn up or 'slouch' of the Aussie hat was much more pronounced.  It it not clear on the original photo due to the damage - sorry but I should have mentioned it :(  I've attached a photo of what it looks like, if it's possible to add the 'slouch' that would be great but if not it doesn't matter as what has been done so far is great.

Cheers

Bob

Hi Bob.....I've had another try, I feel there is an improvement.

I had a feeling yesterday when I was restoring the photo that there was something not right.

regards Carolyn  :)
