I have a photo of the above named soldier with his wife, Peggy and Daughter Margaret. He served with the Hull Commercials 12th East Yorkshire regiment.
If you are a relative of this Soldier, I would like to hear from you as I have a photo of him with his wife and Daughter.

The above named soldier was in the 11th East Yorkshire regiment.
If you are a relative of the person I would be interested to hear from you as I have a photo of him in uniform.

Hi Andy,
It's time to put away your bucket and spade and swap it for a paintbrush.
I have missed you on here

Hi Rami, Thanks for raising this as it is important to my personal involvement as a restorer here for over 17 years.
I have seen a lot of changes and advances in technology regarding the manipulation of photos on here.
It is a subject that is close to my heart and it saddens me to see historical photos restored to such extreme lengths that the results produce an image that could have been taken yesterday. Sometimes, less is more. I aim to make any restorations that I carry out, true to the era that they were taken.
I was once asked to remove a cigarette from a 1950s photo for someone, and pointed out that, that would have been the trend at that time, so I did two versions, one with and one without the cigarette .Future generations need authenticity for their historical photos in my opinion.
But each to his own. I have resisted restoring for some time now as the results that are being posted would make any of my offerings look inferior.

Thank you Peter but looking around the boards I find the results of some AI reproductions disturbing and it has put me off a bit too, sadly

Lovely work RJ and Peter, staying true to the original.
I haven't been able to restore these days as I am waiting for a date for a procedure on my two spinal fractures
