Great job. I like it . I would try and work a little more on the spot on the sleeve though.

Great Restoration, was Harry serving with the Aussies perchance?

I don't think so. He was a signaller out in Burma.

That would explain the slouch hat then Thank You, although the pugaree looks Aussie not Brit. Appreciate your reply

Sue, the sepia is perfect, especially for the time frame in which the photo was taken.
I would suggest that you restore the writing which makes the photo so much more personal.
You dad was quite a handsome man.

Yes I thought he was too (especially as I look like him:D) I have only removed the writing because my mum is giving a copy each to my girls as part of their Christmas present so thought it would look better without the writing! What we be nice is if I could re-create it but with my girls names instead of 'mum':)

I beg to disagree, but I think your girls would love the original with the message of a son to his mother. However, it's really up to you.

Great job. I was going to say the same thing about the writing. It is such a wonderful thing to have. It needs to be restored, also.
