William John Russell Rowles WW1 casualty
« on: Wednesday 12 March 25 16:16 GMT (UK) »
This Canadian soldier was killed in action on 22nd October 1917 whilst serving with the 46th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was just a few weeks short of his 19th birthday. A fallen hero.
This is a newspaper picture of him I am hoping someone can improve for me.
I know the image is very poor but any improvement would be greatly appreciated.
