Gadget i may post full military pic on another board and add link

Glad you made me look close tho  i cant see shoulders upper right  arm has one band and left sleeve has a strange cross ....on closer inspection its two crossed rifles which fits with walter in royal artillery and the latest pic looks like pic 2 so brothers is beginning to look like a possibility .im looking for a photo of my grandfather as a young man to compare .


It's the one you put up in Reply #13, immediately before my reply.  He's not in uniform.

Sorry gadget I thought you were referring to kilted man

It looks like it could be a thistle I've tried zooming in but it goes fuzzy

I managed to post on Facebook lost Glasgow page re the military man to post on here I have to remember what techniques I used to reduce the pic

will try  again

Here s a link to the kilted " brother" the more I look at him the more I think he has a resemblance to my grandfather' + dad when they were young

It just seems logical that he would have pictures of his brothers as well as his navy friends and I got ages wrong before the one who emigrated to USA in 1923 with his sisters would have been aged 21  b 1902

The youngest brother joined them in 1929 age 19

One was born 1891 another 1894  their respective weddings 1920 & 1921 could have been the photo opportunity.
