Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / trying to identify Herbert Arthur Weston
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 22:10 BST (UK)  »
Good evening everyone,  the photo attached is of my grandfather (on the left) Herbert Arthur Weston, who was killed in france in 1917, he had three brothers, one was killed at the battle of jutland in 1916, and the others I believe were in the army during the first world was, I was informed that one of his brothers Frederick d Weston was also in the same regiment as my grandfather (the royal Warwickshire regiment) what I am trying to find out is who is the other person on the photo with my grandfather? did they tend to have photos taken with siblings together when they joined up? I would just love to be able to identify the other man on the photograph.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you

He was 25, we know from my father that the families were from ireland going back, think this is probably where thomas was from, but he must of been around in preston when hius son was born in 1839?
