Now you have got me thinking, perhaps it was a silk handkerchief  :) Boutonnieres I understand were worn often, not just for weddings :)

Thank you Polldoll, I really  like them :)  You have preserved his boutonniere (I think that is what it is called) the corsage type thing on the father's lapel, it's missing in quite a few of the restorations. I didn't like to mention it as it sounded picky  ;D

Can someone advise? I am not quite sure what that is on the father's (my Grandfather x 2) left lapel?  Is it some kind of  Boutonniere/corsage?

The interesting thing about this photo, is that it is a copy from, what I am sure was the original, it was in the possession of my maternal uncle.  I borrowed it and scanned it in June 2020 and returned it to him, he was in poor heath at the time and left us some 6 months later.  :'(

My mother's maternal line is my last branch to research and have only just started, however I was very surprised to see the exact same digital copy, with the same damage and writing, appear on Ancestry hints. The person who has used it on their public tree must be (in ancestry terms) a close relative of mine. After a bit more digging I will contact them, it will be interesting to find our relationship, where they got their copy from and I will of course offer to send the them one of the wonderful new improved versions  ;D

After the wonderful job, several of you did yesterday on that very tatty Cail family photo. I was wondering if someone can help me with poor Jimmy who died on the RMS Lancastria in 1940  :'(
