I thought this meant that Glyn was the baby.
His birthday was March 4th 1918.
The photo was taken on his first birthday ....

I agree.

Could Doris be 1 year 5 months older than Glyn? She could be two and a half?

This will sound dumb, but I think the picture in the pendant looks like a boxer!!  ;D

Could it have been a photo of the Daddie  ;)

Ignoring what's already been written, how old do both the children look?
Trystan

I think the youngest is around 1 1/2 years old and the girl is not yet 3 years old. So I'd guess 18 months and perhaps 30 months.

Canada:  Archer, Walker, Spencer, Shepherd

I thought that too, except that all I can make out is a white blob.

"With dearest love & X's to our
darling Daddie from your loving
little daughter & sonnie

Dora & Glyn

Taken on Baby's birthday, March 4th 1918.
one year & 5 months old."

I have an idea. I think this would make more sense if the on was a for:

Taken for Baby's birthday, March 4th 1918.
one year & 5 months old


That would then tie in with sami's estimated age of about 18 months for youngest. However that may mean that the photo was taken on March 4th, rather than the first birthday being on March 4th.

Just a thought ... :)
