We are as certain as we can be that the short man on the back row right hand side is my grandfather Private Stanley Ord.

If anyone is interested, I have photographs of the graves of Private F Southern, Private G Wheatley and Private REA Mason - all buried in the VILLERS-FAUCON COMMUNAL CEMETERY.

Thanks so much for this - the conditions are unimaginable.  I am off to northern France later this year and would like to pay my respects at some of the battlefields,, now I know where to go - been a few times before, but that was before I knew my grandfather fought there.  The small man at the back to the right of the photo looks very much like my father and my brother and I know my grandfather was a short man .... I will see if I can positively identify him.  I think there's one person alive who may be able to help - except he's now quite old.

My grandfather - Stanley ORD was a private in the 19th Northumberland Fusilliers - as far as I know from their inception to the end of the the war.  I never met him, have no photos and regrettably his son (my father) died last year and I only met him in the last 2 years of his life - he just told me my grandad was at the Somme and I found the rest out.  It doesn't seem as if he was invalided out, never promoted and I know he was very short!   Any help would be gratefully received.
