Hi Susan,

It's good when the OH's become involved, otherwise mine is not interested in FH, unless it it his family.

Has your OH been in the services too?

We will get there between us!

Lucky you, Rabbit, if it isn't blue and gold and going 'Chelsea, Chelsea,' it's of no interest to my dearly beloved....but we've gone a bit quiet on the Chelsea front the last few days...now I wonder why ;D  ;D  ;D

I still say a copy of the photo could be sent to the Imperial War Museum, asking How? What what what? When and why?
Of course, you might have to wait for an answer....

Nah, Rabbit, more like the pensioners... come to think of it, that's how they are playing at the moment, even a football free zone like me can see that.

Phew ...just caught up with all these posts gang ... 
Pennine can you email  me or post a higher res scan just of your Uncles head ....  pref 1200 dpi ...  The likeness in my view is uncanny...
 the shape and placement of ears and eyes and mouth would lead me to think it likely there could be a genetic link ...

While going through some other family pics I came across this one! 

I dont know....there seems to be a bit of a likeness to the chap next to the civy....what do you guys think??

His name is William Percival Ivins he was born in 1908 in Monmouth.

**been having problems with my photo editor so i cant place the two side by side**

I was thinking the nose and mouth looked similar, but the eyes are a bit different....
