Title: Could this be repaired please? school cadet corps possibly early 1920's
Post by: BBW99 on Monday 01 June 15 05:21 BST (UK)
I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about where I should be putting this as it isn't a picture about "where am I"

I'd like the creased fixed up on this photo if that is at all possible please.

Thank you to anyone who might be able to help
BBW

Hi BBW,  :)

Welcome to Rootschat,

A higher resolution scan between 300 - 600 dpi would get a better quality for printing,
also better on the restorers eyes, there's a tutorial at the top of this thread if you need more information.
I have had a go for you,

Yvonne

Sorry that's my fault. You are definitely in the right place for restoration.  The Where Am I threads are a side project that some Rootchatters are working on. 

Sorry about the confusion and Welcome to Rootschat!

Gosh how wonderful

Thank you Yvonne for the hint about the scan size. I'll try and do better next time. Even with a bad picture you have done an amazing restoration - far better than I expected.

Thank you Caz for clarifying the Where am I pictures. There were so many of them that I was a little worried. Thank you for your lovely restorations. The frame is a nice finishing touch as well.

Thank you japeflakes for the b&w restore. The time you spent is very much appreciated.

What brilliant restorations everyone has done! And what a great picture, I can't get over how young the bugle boys are - maybe fourteen or fifteen ?? Do you have any info about the pic BBW?

I understand that the lads may be part of a school cadet corps possibly early 1920's so I guess they are all in their teens

Thank you for your interest
