The Rev. Col.  (United Board) 11th Royal Fusiliers, b 1885 in Newcastle Emlyn.
Having seen action in Gallipoli, Belgium and France he is now in need of saving
Anything that can be done I will be grateful for.

Thank you

I've brightened him up but I couldn't work out where is right hand was, so I made that bit up.

I couldn't help coloring the colonel. I'm sure I got some bits of the uniform wrong, but some details in the original were really hard to see.

Thank you all for the wonderful restorations. I thought that Evan was beyond help but you restorers have showed your skills once again.

Many thanks
Fisherman

Thanks, Peter.   :)  After seeing the others, I think a monotone one works better with this picture.

Hi George,
Thanks for that.

Old age and all that  :D :D :D

Hi George ! I thought I recognised the photo ...but not till I'd worked on it for a while ...
so here's another  one for what must be a large collection now ...  did you ever see the other ones Fisherman?  There are some cracking restores  over the years ...

Hi Polldoll,
Yes I have caught up with all the fantastic restores.
I have been puzzling how I missed  the earlier restores, but checking the date I realise I had been rushed into hospital with adrenal gland failure. But luckily St. Peter refused me entry despite what the doctors told the family.  ;D ;D ;D. I still have little memory,except for the pain, of those weeks.
Once again thank you to all the restorers who have worked on Evan. I am in awe of what you can achieve.
