Any chance the young lad is the adult soldier?

No, I don’t think so Skipman, the key facial features are quite different.

Thanks FROGSMILE. I didn't think it was but this soldier was definitely a message boy at some point and definitely worked as a butcher in this shop before the war. Thanks again for your help.

Perhaps he preceded or followed on from one of those pictured Mike.

I'm with @FROGSMILE on this. Even allowing for the differences in the angle of the head (and probably age), still looks like too many differences to the mouth shape, eye sockets, eyelids and overall ear shape.

BTW - what have they done to that poor pig's head:)

Good spot, it looks a bit like a prototype Brodie helmet.  Pig in tin hat as opposed to pig in blanket!

Thanks again. Hadn't noticed the pig's head :unsure:
