Indeed, Alice must have received the photo after 1941 which rather implies that she and Wright were in contact after she was married to Bond, oh dear.

No more ideas I'm afraid.  Good luck!

Hi all, update - i've had some help..

There is a ‘James Wright’ (2757661) who served with The Black Watch from 19th November 1939 to 22nd January 1941, when he was transferred to the 4th Reconnaissance Regiment, then transferred to the 6th Reconnaissance Regiment on 5th July 1941.
 
There is a ‘Nelson James Wright’ (the first names are switched) (3191992). He served with the 116th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps from 15th September 1939 and was then transferred to the 9th Gordon Highlanders on 24th July 1942, then transferred on 23rd June 1943 to the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders.

 
I have no idea where to go from here  :o
