Dave,
Those are fantastic photos, and a privilege that you have them and know and remember the person in them.
My own observations are the difference between the first and last photo. In the first one he looks a bit more battle hardened with his service revolver and seriously well shaped forage cap (the shrunk and shaped beret of its day!). The last one looks more like his best uniform or taken a bit earlier. I noted the leggings which makes me wonder was he a driver in the Royal Field Artillery?
Have you done any research on him? Medal cards is usually a good place to start if he survived the war, otherwise CWGC if they didn't..
Talk soon
John
