Captain Horace Edwin Cole Littlejohns
This is a very interesting picture. You can see the pips on his arms, which
indicate that he is a Captain. He has a walking stick, so was obviously
wounded.
He is also holding something that looks like a cap.
I investigated this further, and found that it actually seems to be
German!
The writing on the
rear is
written by two people. The first part is easy to read, the second much harder.

This is a colourised version of the original image. The colourisation was
done in 2009 by the user 'terry hastie' at the
www.rootschat.com forum.
I think that the final restored and coloured image is absolutely fantastic.
The original was a scratched and slightly ripped postage stamp sized photo
that fitted into the palm of my hand.
The original black and white image is here.
