My mum's mum
« on: Tuesday 29 January 13 23:08 GMT (UK) »
I absolutely love these pictures of my mum's mum. A beautiful woman but the photos themselves are so good. She died in 1941 when my mum was 12 years old. That is why I have never thought of her as my grandma. One photo shows her in mourning looking at a photo of her first husband who drowned in 1919 after surviving WW1 still in the army but on a night out.

The scanned images are all that I have at this time and like I say I love them but is it possible please for somebody just to remove the creases? Nothing else please just the creases . Apologies that there are three and if the quality is not right but it's all that I have.

Many thanks in anticipation.
