The soldier standing has 3 or 4 overseas service chevrons on his right sleeve. One for each year he served overseas.

Thanks for that Ken.

I have wondered about the soldier sitting as he was born in 1900.  I guess he had only fairly recently joined the Army at the time the photo was taken, which I am assuming was about 1919.
