unknown sailor - navy or merchant?
« on: Friday 24 May 13 04:15 BST (UK) »
This sailor is from my family archives, the photo has no name (of course!) and there is no photographer's name either. The fence looks to be an Aussie style however that doesn't mean the uniform is an Aussie one.

I'm looking for a possible date and name of uniform.

Thanks in anticipation

and here is the photo that I forgot, silly old man that I am :( I have just noticed that the lanyard (chord over shoulder) has been coloured red on the top of the photo.

I can't help with the details you want but I had a play around to try and brighten it up for you a bit - he's a good looking bloke whoever he is.

Cheers
