Robert William?
« on: Monday 16 April 07 10:41 BST (UK) »
Good Morning!

This fellow has caused quite a stir within my family tree. So any info from the pic would be a breath of fresh air!!

Both images are scanned from the original, l would really like to print the first image for my grandad (its his father) but l think it could do with a touch up here and there.

Also if it is at all possible could anyone tell me their views on the rough time line? lm attempting to find out which ship he served on, l cannot read the writing on the back which may (or may not) give any clues abut him.

The photos are already uploaded to my own web space so l hope lm doing no wrong in providing a link rather then uploading them here. l have scanned them as a safety precaution.

Many thanks in advance.

Rachel.

Hi Rachael
I think it's HMS Victory, so I added the "ory" on the cap! It was definitely "Vict...." when I enlarged the image
Here's two from me

Gosh Genie..I'm dead jealous of all these wonderful backgrounds you have...I can never find any..except ones I have to pay for and I'm too cheap to do that LOL. ;D ;D

Very nice interpretation!
