Could you please date this photo
« on: Wednesday 14 May 08 21:14 BST (UK) »
Could someone date this photograph please? It was sent to me by a relative, and I think it's my g grandfather and his mother.

If it helps, he was born in 1900, and I think the boy in the photo looks about 13-15 years?

Thanks in advance, Sarah x

I think a date around 1915 would  not be far off, Sarah  Smiley
