Hi despite best endeavours 20 years ago, I scanned the first photo and it's a measly 50kb as I didn't know what I was doing back then. Is it possible for someone to kindly try to de-pixelate and improve the quality? I didn't even know it was possible until I saw a cracking effort on here in last few days.
Sitting, is my great grandfather Griff Thomas of the machine gun corps, who came home to west Wales after WW1 and not so long after went to London with his wife to open a shop and raise his family. I'm not sure who the other two standing are or whether they were lucky enough to come home. Griffs medal card provides his reg is 54621 and mgc101b115 page 9615 but I know nothing of where he fought, his daughter (my gran) said he never talked about what he did in the war.
I have another scan of seemily earlier photo where Griff and the chap on the left are at the same location/set and it appears to be on a post card of French origin, so guessing he was in France at least twice for these photo opportunities.
Many thanks

Griff had a number of brothers so they could possibly be them

Thanks for your efforts guys, I'm astounded at what can be achieved, some of those look like they were taken today, how the pixels can be sharpened is just incredible
