Title: Restoration of Private keane
Post by: Neilok64 on Sunday 18 October 20 17:41 BST (UK)

Can anybody help out with this picture?.

I've tried enhancing it but with terrible results as there seems to be a lot of damage to the pic.

All I know is that he was in the South Lancs regiment and was killed in 1918.

Thanks in advance.

I had a go but not too happy.  I've tried various ways of getting rid of the pixels but .....
It needs Remini or similar.

I might try a bit more on his face!

I think its better to have a poor image than no image at all, especially when they made the ultimate sacrifice  :D

Without a doubt Carol,I recently found that a Great Uncle of mine was killed at Passchendaele in 1917 and I would love to see a picture of him😥

You could looking at local newspapers for that period, there is usually a mention of the soldiers who lost their lives and sometimes there is a photo of them.

FindMyPast newspapers are useful for this.

Carol I've tried i even signed back up the bna newspapers because a local paper come on line and I've found loads from the Lancashire regiments but not my Great Uncle,it was only by pure luck and a post i seen online mentioning his name that I was able to work it out and with the help of local genealogists we worked it all out that I found him.
