Restore and clean - my Dad died young
« on: Sunday 29 July 07 23:39 BST (UK) »
This is one of only a couple of photo's I have of my Dad.  He died when I was 9 years old.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Mavis
As most of the image is destroyed, here's a quick closeup

Hi Mavis

Welcome to Rootschat.  I've had a go but it's not very good I'm afraid.  Hopefully someone else will do better.

Hi Mavis,
       I think the bars on your dad's sleeve may indicate his rank in the his branch of the Police service WWII.
If some kind person can bring it up a bit you might get an answer on the Armed Services Board.
Good luck,
jc

You guys are so talented.
