I'll agree - I had my grandfather's medal refurbished, plus I obtained replicas of his other medals.  Excellent service.
Thank you BumbleB, I'll check them out.

Hi,

I have used and can recommend Worcestershire Medal Service. They do full size and miniatures.

I hope the experts will be able to do better than I can, but at least I tried!
Thank you Japeflakes, I'm grateful to you for that.

I don't hold out much hope,but is it likely that this recently found photo can be improved in any way possible.

Why do you think it's an institution?
My bad Shaun,I had made a note several years ago as I couldn't find the siblings anywhere ,and I rather foolishly had it in my mind that they may have been residents at the 'children's home' despite the fact that they were obviously adults....so back to the search for me then.Thanks for your help Shaun,I appreciate it.

The next of kin information probably dates from his attestation in 1897.  The rest of the information on that page would have been added over the course of his 12 years of service.
Thank you for your help ShaunJ, now I can search for that year (plus /minus) it may save me a lot of time,assuming the records for the institution still exist.
