Two photos - is this the same man?

Hi there

Grateful to gather some opinions. The photo on the left is a relly who died in WWI aged 20. The photo on the right was found in a bundle of family pics and is unlabelled.

Is it the same man?

The uniform is right - Gordon Highlanders - but as there were brothers, cousins etc also in the GH, it's not conclusive enough on its own.

I feel there are similarities in ear-shape, bottom lip etc.  It's hard to see if the chin cleft, hairline etc are the same as the angle is different, the hair length has changed and the quality of the left hand pic is poor (I believe it is scanned from a newspaper - I don't have the original).

What do you think?

Looking at the shape of the eyes I  inclined to think they are brothers rather than the same person.

Thanks Jean!

However, because all the other brothers survived (although with major injuries) I have lots of pics of them for comparison and I feel I can confidently say it's none of them.

It doesn't really fit as a cousin. Either it's the chap on the left who died, or a complete red herring...

very similar  but difficult due to angle???

I'm pretty confident that they are the same man.

The mouth, eyes, ears (to an extent), and what you can see of his hairline make me sure.

I think they are the same man.They have the same mouth and facial features

I would agree with one and the same man, the hairline on the side, also ears, nose and mouth...also has similar/same uniform.

I agree too, I think it's the same chappie.
