Sorry I am on iPad and am not as familiar with cropping and turning photos - I'm much better on my pc.   Perhaps someone can organise the signatures alongside each other so easier to compare?

Interesting, Colin's signature also upright
Adding: The "Seale" similar on Henry and Colin

The “Robert Henry Seale” is likely written by a right handed person. 
Colin Seale is likely written by a left handed person

Tantalisingly, ‘Colin’ is ‘spread out’ and of such ‘scribble’ that any scribe seeking to ‘alter’ it to ‘Robert’ (or John !) and could do so without much ‘practice’ ….  Seale (to Stevens) would take more practice, but could be achieved.

 attach a new snip.

Hi Betty,
Which of the descriptions in Army records best fits your dad? Colin or Robert?

Also wondering about this? dated 1917 but Colin bought his discharge 1907?
Pg 2768
The KING has approved the appointment of the undermentioned Officers to the Infantry Branch of the Indian Army Reserve of Officers: —
To be Second Lieutenants.
INFANTRY BRANCH....
continued on pg Pg 2769 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29993/page/2769/data.pdf
Colin Ian Seale. Dated 11th January, 1917.

While we ponder...... I am thinking....

Too many Colin SEALEs

I would still like to know more about the death in England of Colin SEALE in 1967.
