I'm still reading while working on this picture, but thought I'd share.

Berry.

If people only knew the love, care and research you have put in to this photo!

It is looking great.  I spoke to this man's daughter, and I know they are going to be so happy.  They had so few photos left, and this is going to send them "over the moon"!

I am not an expert, but can anyone suggest what Betty can do to make the pants look a little less painted on?  Just a little, is all I think it will take. 

Anyone?

The restore looks great! To make the trousers less flat, perhaps some shading would help, as in the example of this pair of pants:

It looks to me like he is wear loose fitting military khaki pants. Here is a link to one set: http://www.galaxyarmynavy.com/item-2136.asp

He was in Troop A 25th Constabulary Squadron.  He was a "Rifleman 745" and was in from 1945-1947.  (This was what Jan found out)

I've found several links but this is one of them.  And yes, time is spent on researching these photos.  Thank you for saying what you did.
