Royal Horse Artillery WW1

[John915]

Good evening,

Eddie, I'm with you on this one, it's two different officers but we need Alan to come back and confirm or deny this point. If it's not the same man then who is it, did the grandfather have a brother or cousin with similar looks. More importantly, a similar career and rank but not entitled to one of the 3 medals, most likely the 15 star.
