Hi Everyone
I am hoping someone can please help with this. Wondering if a cleaner picture would show anything on the uniform to help establish if he was in the royal marines as purported or other.
Wanting to eventually find his war records. He came from Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
In appreciation

Hi Flissie
You might be better off posting this on the armed forces board. They may well recognise the uniform.
Looks army to me, but trust me I know zip!
Cheers

Thanks Cazza 59
I was hoping that it could be restored to a much better quality and then I would do that - Do you think Pablo's kind efforts have made it clear enough for recognition of uniform?
Cheers - Flissie

Very possibly as there are some very cluey people on that board!
I've had a bit of play, but as it's a very tiny image that you've downloaded from the net, there is not much to work with.
Was there any other information with the photo that might give some clues?

This is what it looks like to me, a WW2 uniform worn in North Africa.

Thank you for your help and restoring effort - the uniform does look similar to the picture. I shall put the photo on the other section as you suggest and see how it goes

Thank you for your work - Much clearer, eyes came up well too. Looks like something in his sock - would they wear a knife in the front ? I thought it would be on the side. Still hoping someone may know about the uniform ?
Appreciate everyone's efforts
Thank You
