Whilst I am
prepared to work from computer produced images, you must appreciate that the
details on the scanned photographs may not be as sharp as the original
photograph and disintegrate into a series of dots/pixels when magnified, thus
creating identification difficulities. Scanned documents should be copied as a
minimum of 600 dpi..
Sorry I cannot
work from photocopies as there are generally of poor quality and details cannot
be magnified.
Unidentified recruits, 5th Battalion,
Group, 7th Battalion,
