Hi Carolyn,

Thanks ever so much for the great restore.

It's very kind of you to take the time (especially now) and once again it's so nice to see the different look that you clever people manage to give to these old photo's which are so precious.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks very much for the smashing colour restore.

What a nice & unexpected surprise first thing in the morning.

My husband tells me that the ordinary ' Infantry of the Line' wore Scarlett Tunics at that time, so the colours that you've used for Grandad are spot on.

Also, I think that Nana looks lovely too - the hats worn by the ladies then must have made them feel really glamorous.

I really appreciate your time & kindness.

Cheers

Barbara.

Hi genechaser,

How good of you to find that.  I spent ages trying to find that uniform on all of the regimental website archives.

I certainly missed that one though!  I am sure that it will be a great help!  Lovely restore as well Barbara will be pleased!

Hi genechaser,

Thanks ever so much for the lovely restore.

A special thanks for the confirmation of uniform, colours, etc.

I'm keeping all the restores, printed off and slotted into a special album.

I love looking at them all and I'm really grateful to the kind people on Rootschat who give their time, patience & skill to help.

By the way, I have posted another photo of the same man but older if you want to have a look.

Here's the link:

Thank you again
