photograph recognition

[buzzby]

Hi ,
    This will sound like a very silly question, but how do I go about deciding who is who in a photo ?
I have a photo of the 460 squadron during the WW2, in it is 7 brave men who fort during WW2.

The names are listed from left to right, but the gentlemen are standing in 3 rows.
2 at the back, 3 in the middle and 2 in the front.

Some people say you start with the back row and go from left to right, and others say its completely left to right regardless of rows.
Does anyone know how to decipher who is who?
My g uncle is in the photo and I have no idea which one he is 
Can anyone help........ Thanks  buzzby

You really need to post the photograph and list of names. How it is written may give a clue. They also would be of different ranks which may be shown in the photograph.

Hi

Most group photos that I've seen are listed left to right and back to front  - so back L-R (2), middle L-R (3) , front L-R(2 ) -  but there are always maverick ones

I think with a pic like that they would simply be left to right, no rows.

I agree with Geoff - left to right. If it was a formal photograph with people standing and sitting it may be back to front.

Hi, 

     Thanks for the input. Sorry the photo turned out so big.

Do you think my g uncle Frank would be the gentleman in the back with only half his face showing?

I think it could be him but Im only guessing.

As I dont have any other photos to clarify.

cheers

I would say yes buzzby.

I would say that Frank is at the back with the top of the chap in front's cap almost up his nose!
