The photo of the younger man on the left is not a Hussar (3rd). The cap badge is actually that of the West Yorkshire Regiment. The difference being the shape of the scroll. :P

Hi again
In addition on looking at the collar badges once more, the photo of the young man shows the West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales Own) and the collar dogs are pre-1925.
The second photo (of the older man) is the same regiment, post-1925. :D

Thanks for that information atom12.
Do both pictures look like it is the same man one being younger and one older.
Thanks

Yes Candis
They do have very similar facial features even allowing for age differences, so imho they are most likely of the same man.

Hi Atom12
Thanks for that, now all I need to do is hope the missing chunck that links my lot to him appears.
Thanks again

Hi Candis
Are you saying that you are unsure if you are related to him ... as yet!
His medal card is on Ancestry, have you seen it? ::)
-
Somehow somewhere I am related to him I just dont know how.
His photo was in a tin amongst other relatives, that are realted to me.
Just another one of those mysterys I have to solve.
Yes I have seen his medal card.
The photo on the right came from his grandaughter but neither one of us know how we are realted to each other.
Dont you just love those missing ties.
Regards
Candis
