Is it possible to identify a man by his photo?

[anto97]

Greetings,

today I visited my grandfather's home in Scotland and accidentally came across a photo of his older sister with her boyfriend (they never got married). We know nothing about him and I was wondering if an identification just by his photo would give me a name or a date.

But I cannot share the photo publically because my uncle (my grandfather's sister's son) doesn't want to talk about his mother's life...

Should I go to a personal investigator?

That would be awesome, at least I would know how old he was at that time..

Can you not crop out the unwanted female and post the photo?

I'll do it right now, I just hope my uncle won't find it out.

That's the man. His name was George and he fought in Greece during WW2.

Is there a way to make the photo unsearchable through Google???

Right click on the photo on this thread - one of the images should be to search using google.

But the photo has to be unsearchable, so that my uncle will not come across it.

Sorry, I misread your initial post.  The only way that it could become unsearchable would be to remove it.
