A bit of colour for my Great Grandfathers military portrait Frank Clarke

[rjb1984]

Wow, they all look fantastic. It's going to be hard to choose one to frame now!

I can't thank you all enough.

I've had to jiggle with the photos attached. The ribbons were initially the wrong way around, thus why they're at a weird angle. The badge is the one worn on his left arm, which can just be seen on the photo.

I've included a photo of the medals to give a better idea of the ribbon colours, the ribbons themselves are faded. There are two medals missing from the photo. One was never mounted, the other - we don't know. It's a mystery of the family!

Again, thank you

Hi Rich

Here's my finished version.  If the colours are not correct, happy to change it.

I've done two versions, one with a red cap band, one without.

Rich, you are going to have a tough job to choose one to frame, they are all so beautiful.  A great job by the Rootschat restorers yet again.  You are so lucky to have such a wonderful picture of your Great Grandfather and to have all of his medals.

Good evening,

Hi Rich, strange to see this photo again. I remember the first time when we were checking on his regt and the medals.

It always amazes me the job the restorers and colourists can do. Well done to all of them.

At the risk of upsetting some of them though, the red hat band is incorrect as he is a Lt Colonel serving with a regt. Staff officers had the red band and would have red lapel flashes with oak leaves to go with it.

Hi John,

I got as far as I could with the research for him. The colour restored photo is the icing on the cake and I know my Great Aunt will love it.

As for the historical accuracy, I did wonder. Thank you for letting me know. I've a real hard time deciding which photo to go with, they're all fantastic.

Thank you all for doing this. I'm amazed at how quickly it was completed!

Hi Rich.......Its a pity that you did not post the colour of the ribbons seeing that you had them in your possession.

It makes it so much easier if colours are known that they are posted with the original photo.
