Title: Dating of photograph and facial similarities...
Post by: haze73 on Monday 03 December 12 12:10 GMT (UK)
Hi all,

Could anyone please tell me when the army photo might have been taken? Also, in the second photo - can I have your views on whether you think it's the same guy as in the army photo? Obviously taken later on...

Thanks - any help much appreciated!

Hello Hazel,  :)

He looks like the same chap to me, eyes, nose, mouth, chin & ears all seem to fit,

Thanks everyone for your comments, and Tony, that was so helpful to look at!

China - that date would fit in perfectly - and judging that you all think it is the same guy, I think it is now safe to say I have a new pic of him, and his wife who I never had a pic of before. Hurrah!

Big thankful hugs all round

Hazel x :D

I was told on the army board it was fusiliers or artillery because of the collar badges

Not tried it before and it seemed to have worked out quite well
