The best I can say is yes and no :-\
We know that my mums uncle (GHS Cox)is in the regimental photo, as it was kept with all his medals and letters, he didn't survive the war and nobody knows which one he is.
Then I got in touch with his sisters grand daughter, she had his sisters old photo's which I promptly scanned. Amongst the collection were maybe two possibilities of a photo of her brother, when I compared the picture's with the regimental picture I couldn't get a positive ID.
So we're non the wiser other than one of them is the spitting image of my uncle Bert ;)
Yes the picture you restored and coloured (so well) is one of the two possibilities, and just to complicate things further ,his sisters husband was also in the middlesex regiment so it could well be him.

Okay, well for what it's worth, IMO the chap in the bottom row, fourth from the right has very similar features to the chap in the postcard, particularly the ears and nose, plus bearing in mind that in the comparison photo attached, the chap's mouth in the postcard is my interpretation.

Yes I see what you mean, but you probably need to see the other pictures to see the whole picture :-\
This is Fred husband of GHS Cox's sister

And then there's the uncle Bert theory  :)
Here's a photo of my uncle Bert when he would have been about the same age as GHS Cox, see if you can see him in the regiment photo ;)

Just sent you a message about the three C's  AKA Carolyn, Caroline and Carol as I didn't realise you had responded here.  ;D ;D

We are three different people, and it was the lovely Carol (Treetotal), that cleaned the last couple of pics for you, so thanks belong to her and I cannot take credit!

Caz  ;D ;D
