What are the chances of getting a name ?
Picked up this picture of a Royal Welsh Fusiliers Territorial yesterday at an antique fair.
The photo is 16" x 19.5" and has been mounted on canvas which has been stretched over a frame in the manner of an oil painting. There is a signature presumably of the photographer which is undecipherable. Parts of the photo appear to have been touched up by the photographer, perhaps prior to being coloured ?.
At £5 I couldn't not buy it but what a shame that the picture has obviously left the family of which the man was a member of and in all probability it will be impossible to find out his name and the story of his war.
P.B.
