You mentionned specifically the "Green Howards".  They do have a regimental museum.  Consider contacting them to see if they could verify that the uniform is one of theirs.  If you scanned the photo at a higher resolution the details of buttons etc. would be easier to see.

How sad if they did that...perhaps her family did not want her to move and take Gladys with her...we will probably never know for sure.

I have done a wee bunch more inquiring on one of the military boards and got a reply back stating they were certain that Charles was not with the "Green

 Howards" I will still keep looking though and will pass on anything I find. Look forward to a better picture.

I Have been thinking! i know now that Annie was working in Chester in ww1 at William Williams i think it was  called making things for the war i can see her telling me to never work in a factory,
so it would have been Chester she meet CS IN 1916/1917.
I have asked for info to who was at Chester at that time
thanks A

"Been thinking!!!!Do you all think that they could have made it all up? just to keep her quite!"

They told her when she was 21 years old, correct?  They may have intentionally made it up.  Or, they may have forgotten (on purpose, or not) the details and tried to "reconstruct" his life.  Or, HE may have made it up.

1 was thinking that But then i remembered the photo in the living room after my step granddad Passed away
 Why would she bring it out next to her beloved swans I was about 13 at the time and just love her swans. so i saw  them  a lot ,she was always saying put them down   but i never said anythink .
Also my son looks like Charles same chin and mouth nose and the blond hair, and my mum got his mouth plu my son  can play most    Instrument   without much bother  I cannot play a thing or my husband
So that brings me back to saying i got to try and find him ( his family ).
