Old soldier Photo repair
« on: Tuesday 20 August 24 21:59 BST (UK) »
Hi
could anyone repair this photo of my Dad ?
its his 90th birthday in September and he is rather upset about his photo falling apart so I would like to get a copy framed for him,
he was in the REME in the 50's out in Egypt  during the suez crisis and being a soldier is his favorite topic !!!
thank you  ;D

My try. In cropping the image I've made the dimensions about 5x8.
Hope your dad has a great day on his 90th :D
