Unit and rank if possible - Lithuanian
« on: Saturday 09 July 11 12:00 BST (UK) »
I am looking for someone who might be able to identify the unit, insignia or even rank of the soldier attached.
The person concerned was my father-in-law (b circa 1916- d 1991). I know the picture would have been taken in the late 1930's, probably in Kaunas, Lithuania, where he lived at the time.
If anyone could even help in restoring the photo to make it cleaner and more legible, this would be wonderful. Original is on paper,
Thanks ever so much.
