Thanks for the clean up Jim. I found out today from the person who has the original photo, that it had been torn through the middle and crudely glued back but that was long before they got it. It is in rather a fragile state. Now I want to ask another favour. One of the boys in the class grew up to be the fellow sitting on the left of this next picture but I don't know which child it is. Any ideas?

Back row 5th. from left is my guess...but probably one of those headless. ;
Great picture,is there a story behind it?

Thank you both Jim & Jenny for restoring the second photo, they are really good. I have been studying and comparing the faces until I am just about cross-eyed and cannot decide which ones match up. The studio photo was taken in 1914 and the lads had just enlisted with the Lovat Scouts. They decided to have their photos taken so into the photographer shop they went, where they dressed up in these supposedly 'cowboy outfits' and that was the result!
