Thanks for the input everyone.
I was not certain it is George at all, and this pretty much eliminates him.
I've only ever seen 2 photos of my grandfather, taken later in his life. The bottom left fellow looks uncannily like him, but with the cap on it is limited to his facial features.
This photo was found in a box of my uncle's things after he died recently, and we had no other information about it, so had hoped it might be his father, George.
As George was first enlisted in 1916 and was wounded and discharged after a long period in hospital I think I was barking up the wrong tree...wishful thinking.
I searched for the name of the photographer and found a couple of posts on other forums which indicate this may be one of a series of photos taken at Epping Forest, Essex, of the 2/8th Worcestershire's camp in Summer 1915. Speculation there was also that the uniforms are those of territorials.
I'll go back through the other family members where I am lucky enough to have records and see if anyone else might fit.
It's just unusual for my uncle to have kept the photo, as his father died when he was very young. There was a strange mention by my aunt of grandfather having two brothers who died of wounds around the same time, but having done extensive research I have never found any evidence that they existed, and think she may have got their relationship wrong.
Many thanks for your help,
Caroline.
