Can you date and restore this attached photo.
I am not sure who it is, it could by my mother's Uncle who emigrated to the USA.

It is difficult to see, but he might be wearing a military uniform.
Any family members fought in WW1?

I did think it could be a military uniform - my mum's great uncle fought in WW1 for the Canadians, he had emigrated to Canada and he was killed in 1917 at the age of 38. I have his attestation papers. I just thought this chap looked a lot younger.

Yes, he does look younger than in his mid-30s, but it can be hard to tell.
Perhaps a son, dressing up in his father's uniform?  ???

Any other family members serve in the military?

That looks like a Canadian WWI Army Tunic.
