Help please, the Rev. Col. Evan Mathias is fading fast.
« on: Wednesday 15 April 20 14:28 BST (UK) »
The Rev. Col.  (United Board) 11th Royal Fusiliers, b 1885 in Newcastle Emlyn.
Having seen action in Gallipoli, Belgium and France he is now in need of saving
Anything that can be done I will be grateful for.

Thank you
Fisherman

I couldn't help coloring the colonel. I'm sure I got some bits of the uniform wrong, but some details in the original were really hard to see.

Thank you all for the wonderful restorations. I thought that Evan was beyond help but you restorers have showed your skills once again.

Many thanks

Thanks, Peter.   :)  After seeing the others, I think a monotone one works better with this picture.
