Frank and George Cardwell
« on: Tuesday 29 January 08 19:19 GMT (UK) »
I have a photo taken from a local newspaper in 1918 recording the deaths in action in France of
Frank Cardwell dob 1900  Doncaster Vol 9c p878  Killed in action 4/9/1918
Edward Cardwell dob 1895 Doncaster Vol 9c p880 Killed in action 20/7/1918

Would it be possible to inprove the quality?

Also if anyone can help with more information regarding the 2 boys I would be most grateful.  They were cousins both serving with the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI's)

Did your newspaper clippings have a write up too ?
These are often one of the best sources of information.

Frank died of wounds so was probably taken to one of the casualty clearing stations at Boisleux St Marc near Sunken Road Cemetery.

As for your photos - you need to go back to the home page on rootschat and post your photos into the 'photograph restoration' page and the photo experts will do their best to fix them.

How sad - two young cousins from the same family.  It was a slaughter of lambs.

Do you have their details on the 1901 Census ? If not - let me know and I will try to find them.

Thanks for all your help, I will post the photos on the restoration site.
No I do not have information from the 1901 census.  Would really appreciate your help with this.
I agree about Lambs to the slaughter, they were cousins of my Grandmother, I can't bear to think what is was like for the families, not just mine but hundreds like them.

I think a linisher finished rough metal - smoothed it to finish it - I think metal linishing is an engineering term.
