Hi Jim1
I thought as much and thanks for the confirmation! Unfortunately, the picture is all I have. It surfaced amongst a collection of other photos accumulated by my grandmother that I rediscovered and of which I'm trying to make some sense from a genealogical perspective. The background of the WW I soldier photo is exactly the same as that for a photo taken of my father in 1922 which was apparently taken in Llangefni.
I have no direct evidence, other than the fact that my father's Weslh bible, shows it was presented to one William Roberts who was subsequently raised as a Thomas in Canada. It could be that the WW I photo of the private is my real paternal grandfather. A possible connection is to one James Harrison Roberts, Welsh Fusiliers, killed in action, The Somme, July 3 1916. He was aged 35 years. In my opinion, the photo displayed is not one of a person aged 18 to 25 say! At this stage, I have not yet approached the research unit of the Fusiliers in Caernarvon largely due to my uncertainty of how best to approach them. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
Cheers
