Please enhance this old newspaper cutting on mygx2 uncle Ephraim Wood
« on: Saturday 12 October 19 11:54 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I know this is a very faded old newspaper cutting.  I wondered if anyone could do anything to sharpen the image and make some of the text a bit clearer, if they can make out the wording that is.

It's from the front page of the Birmingham Gazette of 30 August 1916 which you can view and download from FindMyPast or the British Newspaper Archive. You could snip a clean version.

The same article is in the Evening Despatch of 30 August 1916 - with slightly better picture quality

Thanks for the replies. Do I need a subscription to Findmypast or the British Newspaper Archive to view and download?

My attempts at searching on the British Newspaper archive so far have drawn a blank.

On British Newspaper Archive you can view 3 pages for free when you register.

You want the Evening Despatch of 30 July 1916, page 3. Here is the link https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000671/19160830/051/0003
