Restoration of Private keane
« on: Sunday 18 October 20 17:41 BST (UK) »
Can anybody help out with this picture?.

I've tried enhancing it but with terrible results as there seems to be a lot of damage to the pic.

All I know is that he was in the South Lancs regiment and was killed in 1918.

Thanks in advance.

I had a go but not too happy.  I've tried various ways of getting rid of the pixels but .....
It needs Remini or similar.

I might try a bit more on his face!

I think its better to have a poor image than no image at all, especially when they made the ultimate sacrifice  :D
