R.A.M.C. Medico colourisation "Somewhere in France"
From a postcard in my collection, my second attempt at colourisation, following a couple of youtube tutorials, and then a lot of trial and error! This is the result of a few evenings work.
Subject is a Royal Army Medical Corps orderly, marked on the back of the postcard -
May 19th 1917
'Somewhere in France'
Lee X
A kind looking R.A.M.C. Medical Orderly. What sights this chap must have seen helping wounded Tommies ...
Of note are the 'cross over' style of doing up putties.
He wears a leather '14 Pattern belt. The '14 Pattern leather equipment was introduced when it was realised they couldn't make enough of the more modern looking 1908 Pattern Mills Web equipment for the rapidly expanding army. In an age where horse transport was still king, there was no shortage of saddleries that could churn out the older stye leather equipment in the quantities needed. The '14 Pattern is associated with Kitcheners 'New Army' volunteers.
Is it possible to judge someones character by a photograph? He looks utterly reliable, unflappable, a good chap to have around in a tight spot, pipe help firmly between teeth...
