Australian Boer War Trooper
« on: Monday 16 April 12 13:00 BST (UK) »
I'm working with a friend on a History Month project about the family history of this man who was part of the  2nd Mounted Contingent from South Australia ( - the same contingent as Breaker Morant for those who know of his story.) Today a relative provided us with a huge box of photographs of the family - it's a real treasure chest, which we are going to scan for the family history room at the local library as another project.

This photograph is among them...... damaged, with broken glass that can't be removed, and obviously someone tried to glue the glass back together. I've scanned it in the hope that someone can help improve it for my friend and I. it will be greatly appreciated.

(I do have a larger file if that helps anyone.)

Roy
GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

You folks are amazing! Many many thanks to each and every one of you.   :D   :D   :D
I can't wait for my friend to arrive in a couple of hours' time to show her the wonderful restorations you've achieved while we've been sleeping.

I'm sure the owner of the photos will be thrilled to have the restorations as well.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
