Back in April, at the request of his 87-year-old grandfather, Redditor stevieboy1984 turned to the /r/PicRequests subreddit to see if anyone could clean up a scanned JPEG image file of his grandfather’s World War II-era photo taken during his service in the Navy as a submarine sonar/radar operator. After a number of people offered their photoshop wizardries to help its restoration, stevieboy1984 showed his grandfather six variations before handing him a framed version of top commenter unhi’s submission. Here’s a video of the big reveal.

I wish I had a grandad growing up... one died long before I was born, the other one died when I was a toddler. I don't have any memories of him but I do have a strong memory of the time my grandad took me to the cinema to see a film about a walrus (I've no idea what it was, I'm gonna have to Google that... not even entirely sure it was a film - but basically he bought me a stuffed toy walrus and I remember being at home and playing with it for the first time) when I was a toddler, I think it's my earliest memory.
