Both girls have a look similar to the young girl so I think it's one from this family and age wise it is a better match for a picture I think could be before the end of WW1 due to no medals on his uniform.

I think we've hit something here. Thank you. I think it look to more like Mabel, b. 1912. Picture therefore would be 1915 ish. Might mean that Jess had already served a year, and sustained a wound as indicated from the stripe on his left arm jacket.
I feel more certain as I look at the two pictures side by side that this is more lightly to be Mabel.

Well at least we've helped put it in the right time frame and you know he was injured. The rest would be for uniform specialists. Buttons often denote which regiment.

I'm not good at army (WRAF myself  ;)).

Pity so many documents were lost in WW2 bombing.

I have just zoomed in on the locket that Susan Green is wearing, and I think that it could be the one around the neck of the little girl in the first picture.

The picture locket worn by the little girl with Jess looks similar to the one worn by Susan in the family group, could it be the same locket?  If you have any more family photos have a look to see if the locket appears on any of them.

We're both thinking the same thing Carole  ;D

It might be a good idea to scan both the lockets only, at a resolution of 1200dpi to compare them. I thought they looked to be a different shape. Both girls in the family group seem to be wearing heart shaped lockets.

Hi Carol, I think the locket worn by Susan is turned at a slight angle making it appear more oval.

Both pictures came from an elderly second distant cousin who I have never met. I know she went to considerable trouble to send them to me - photocopied. I don't think I can improve the resolution from what she given me. I will have scanned them at a fairly high for precisely this reason. i will however go and check with my magnifying glass!!!
