Title: Restore Photo Help - Peter Barlow WW1
Post by: Sandwitch on Thursday 16 July 20 20:48 BST (UK)
Restore Photo - Anyone able to help please. Late great uncle, Peter Barlow WW1, only my late great uncle survived from this photo during the war.

Peter is known to have served as 24605 with the Lancashire Fusiliers and later as 590260 with the Labour Corps. He was wounded in the back by shrapnel that killed his comrades in his machine gun team, while with the Fusiliers.
