Is it possible to identify a man by his photo?

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.

So, let's hope that my uncle won't come across it.

Not much chance of that unless he was looking for it and had some sort of facial recogition app himself

anyway he'd see that you'd had a moral dilemna about posting it

you can remove it from this public post and ask a techno wizz to look at it in a private message ..if no-one offers
is the man on photo definitely deceased ...not supposed to post living people on here

Good luck B

The man is deceased for many years, and my uncle is 75 years old.

Sorry, but I would say that there is zero chance of anyone identifying this person from the photograph.

If you have such serious qualms about your uncle seeing your post, I would ask for it to be removed.

Just curious, why are you so interested in an old boyfriend of your great aunt?

My guess is to find out if he was the father of uncle?

Did he die in the war?

That was my thoughts too as it seems to be a delicate matter.

If you had a photograph  of his father or his son or brother  then you may be able to detect similar features, possibly?
