Percy Russel Robinson

British Army

My father, Percy Russel Robinson was in Stalag XX1B. I have various papers and photos of his that may be of interest. Amongst these is a diary which he kept down his sock over the years. Unfortunately, this was written in pencil and whilst I remember reading it as a child it is now very badly faded. Does anyone know of anyone who might be able to recover the writing for me?

Some suggestions: Use a natural light from Tensor to read faint pencil marks and difficult documents in general. For the writing of pencils it should be placed about 60 degrees from the flat surface. This creates a reflective contrast on the pencil markings and improve visibility greatly. You can also use the natural lighting to make a digital photograph that can be enlarged, etc. This might work with an incandescent or fluorescent light source, but this natural light has been amazing.
