I dont think the soldier (smoking I see, whilst having his photo taken !) ... is either of the two other men.

The soldier has quite a narrow nose across the nostrils, which the other two dont have ... and he also seems to have a squared off top to his left ear ... again, I cant see that in the other two.

... and the writing is by two different hands also, I'd say ... look at the capital H in Happy and Health ... and the lower example uses 'ye' whereas the top one uses 'you' ...


Both seems to suffer from dyslexia, or not very much schooling !

Hard to tell, given the age differences, BUT I notice that all three of them seem to have their left ear larger than their right, which might indicate a family connection at least.

I think the soldier's ear looks 'squared off' because of the way he's put his hat on.

Two different hands I agree, the t, h, s and final g are also different. Compare the word sister in both, almost totally different.
 
Beside a different nose, the ears are lower on the soldier, has dark eybrows and open around the eyes.  The second and third photos have no apparent eyebrows and the eyes are heavily lidded.  The second and third photos have striking resemblance to each other though.  The hair and hairline are identical, no eyebrows and identical noses. Both have eyes that are heavily lidded.

It might steer you in the right direction if you can identify the uniform. I am no help in that department though.
