Family History Beginners Board / How are we related?

Hi, I have recently made contact with someone who shares the same Grandmother as me.  My Grandmother had my Mother when she was a single woman and we have no idea who the father was.  My Mother was put into care and had no contact with her Mother after this.

Four years after my Mother was born, my Grandmother married and had 2 boys.  These boys would be my Mother's half brothers (although she wasn't brought up with them and knew nothing about them).  I've recently been in contact with the child of one of these half brothers and am trying to work out if that makes us half cousins (if there is such a thing).

Thanks very much.

Hi, my grandfather was a POW for 4 years in Sennelager II during WW1.  The attached photo was in his belongings.  I had assumed that this may be someone who was special to him during his time working on German farms but I really have no idea.  It isn't my grandmother who he married in 1920 after coming back to Scotland.  Would appreciate suggestions as to whether this photo is likely to have been taken in Germany.  Can anyone tell by the surroundings/her clothing?  The reverse of the photo is stamped "Sennelager" and has been approved for issuing to him, so I think the photo would be German.  Thank you.

Hi, my Grandfather was a POW in Sennelager prison camp during WW1.  Among his belongings which I inherited is the attached photo.  I wondered if anyone could read what is written, presumably in German, on the reverse.  I can just make out his name "J.T. Stewart" but nothing else.  Thanks very much in advance.
