Yes, that's the colour, I found it quite a challenge obtaining a colour photo of a uniform of that time, I found a pith helmet, which I assume would be the same colour, thank you again for your time and interest, its actually so good that I am putting another B/W family picture on in the hope that I can get a similar result.

        One colour.  I've made him a bit redder than normal to indicate that he is in Egypt.

       I can desaturate if you wish. Thanks Jack TT for the medal ribbon. Saved me time. :D :D

Thank you, that b/w shot has really brought him to life, he certainly got a suntan in Egypt!

Hello
One other request please!
Can anything be done with this photo of Eugene Daly, its gotten damaged over the years.
The photo must have been taken post 1918 as he was wounded in the closing weeks of the war and spent some time in hospital. I notice that he is wearing the medal ribbons so, (assume ) it must be 1919plus.
His uniform is the Munster Fusiliers  and it was taken in UK or Ireland.

              Jack, always open a new topic for a new request otherwise people will not

            see your new pic, thinking that they have already looked at the topic..
