Pryce Davis of Seacombe, Wallasey - portrait 1940.
« on: Sunday 27 December 15 17:10 GMT (UK) »
Seasons greetings everyone! :)

My second cousin (whom I have never met), emailed me this badly creased photo of her father when we started corresponding recently.

I really like the picture and wondered if it could be restored?

Pryce was my mum's first cousin and the photo depicts him in army uniform in 1940.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Baz.
