Title: Herbert Blakeley KIA 14/9/1916 Thiepval France
Post by: mickgall on Monday 09 December 24 15:13 GMT (UK)
Hello all
is it possible to do anything with this photo at all. Its of my gt Uncle Herbert Blakeley 9th West Yorkshire Regt, killed attacking the Wunderwerk at Thiepval on the Somme 14 Sep 1916. I visited his grave in Sept but didn't think the photo quality was good enough to put on his grave.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Had a go, and smoothed out his face. Trouble is, the original doesn't give enough clues to guarantee that the end result really looks like him. :-\
