Cammy,

Always happy to be of some help, however small.

Harrihobs,

Basically, the white top to the cap, the jaunty angle of it and the relaxed atmosphere of the picture.

Very glad I got it right. For a change  ::)

Hiya,

Thanks guys for your input to this post. This fellow was my Dad's brother, my Dad passed away recently and I would not have found out any info about this picture without your help.
Slainte,
