Here's a briefing on enhancing photos using GIMP. Though it applies to colored photographs.Should fairly apply to black and white photos with exceptions that may not be a majority.

Here's a tutorial on converting colored images into Black and White.May be reverse-engineer the process and you might get the desired result.

Some more info since you are new to photo editing softwares:
1)You can try as many things as available without worrying about the changes being permanent after every trial. If an effect you have tried didn't give the desired result, press ctrl key + Z if on windows OS(Should work in most cases) or simply close the file as you would with any other file without saving the file and none of the effects will be added to the original file or the .xcf file you were using. So you can try as many times as you want. So some experience in "Trial and Error" methodology can help.
2)Any effect you try on the photo,the result will be available as a preview. Since you are working on one photo at a time and not based on layers within each file, You would be able to see the results of the effect through the preview. If its not the desired result, Undo the changes as suggested in step 1) and try a different effect.
