There are some ways to restore, well, more like stabilize, the photo.

 

I don't know all the details offhand, but I think it was in Military Trader several years ago, a technique to lay the photo out in a solution inside like a long plastic storage tub, basically the paper would re-soak the solution so that the pic could be flattened out, then there was a way to dry it flat too.

 

It wasn't a quick or simple process, but was one which could be done at home if you were so inclined. Google search photo restoration or some other such terms and see what you find.

 

Otherwise what Gil said is likely your best bet.

 

You could also just have a custom frame made to fit the dimensions of your photo, then custom glass cut for it, then carefully roll it out and reframe it.

 

It will never look 100% but given the content, rolled out and reframed would still look nice I think.

 

You could also buy a WW1 era yard long which is already framed, and swap your picture into the frame and the WW1 pic out. Might be easier to conserve and resell a non-rolled WW1 and go that route, than any of the other options.
