Yes Ruskie, it looks like the same hat to me.  I think the side view of No. 5 convinces me more that 5 & 8 are both Heart Throb.  I would like to see the full photo of No. 8 to see if there are any other similarities between the two.  But we still don't know for sure that this is Arthur Moon  :-\

Here is the full No 8.   I think they are all the local pin up boy, but of course as you say, we have no proof it is Arthur.

Hepburn, I think you may be right!  I thought he didn't quite fit with the style of dress of the others, and as they have been/are about to go on a shoot a gillie is a very good suggestion.

Caz, thanks for posting the full photo of No. 8.  I am now even more convinced that No. 8 and No. 5 are the same man.  In the side shot of No. 5 where he is standing next to the lady (possibly Edith) he is noticeably taller than the other two in the photo, the full photo of No. 8 also shows this man to be taller than the other men.  Not conclusive, but another positive similarity between 5 & 8.

Thanks also for letting me see all of him.  Not only dark and handsome but tall too   ;D ;D

I think Hepburn could be right, as I agree, he doesn't seem to have the same air about him and doesn't seem to carry himself like the others if you know what I mean, but then I ask myself why would they take a photo of the gamekeeper?  It could be just because he has a cigarette stuck in his mouth that I'm getting that impression.  I do notice he has a pocket hanky though!

They are quite a distinguished bunch, but yes I agree, tall dark and handsome is quite a 10 and I should imagine, would have been quite a catch!  ;D ;D

Notice the name in the notice of the Reverend Hanbury Tracy!  I wonder if he is connected to "our" Hanbury's.

The descriptions of the outfits is amazing…shame there isn't a photo!!

It sounds like a beautiful wedding, and eight bridesmaids  :o  It is such a shame there is no photo to confirm or deny if your photo is Arthur.

It might be worth checking out where the bridesmaids were living, we may find one of your other missing houses.  I will look into the Rev. Hanbury Tracy, I think I have seen his name crop up in my searches before.
