restoration please of fallen Vietnam War soldier
« on: Saturday 04 August 12 06:32 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Would be most grateful if anyone can improve these two photos of Ken - a fallen solider in the battle of Long-Tan in Vietnam.  The family have given me permission to post and would treasure anything that can be done with these photos as they are the only ones they have of Ken at this age.
thank-you,
Karen
 PS I will post 2nd photo separately

I hope you don't mind, but I have tried a colour on this picture of a very handsome young man who, I am sure, will forever be greatly  loved and missed.

Regards,
GS
