Copying memoirs from scanned typewriter text to Word

Hello. I have an extract of my Grandfather's memoirs that I need translating into MS Word. I would guesstimate at 40,000 words. I have attempted to extract via OCR but it has been a little hit and miss and I think probably easier to simply type from scratch. However, I can provide the word doc I attempted however. There are approx 30 pictures too but I can sort those out, It's getting the text in an editable format that is most important. I've attached some examples of the document, where the beginning is using the typewriter and the end a word processor.
