mikebriggs Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 Dear all The two images on the left are of Pioneer Serjeant Beard of the 1/6th Battn Notts and Derby and taken at one of the Annnual Camps c1908-1913 Is the man on the right the same....but a bit older....and no longer Pioneer Sergt? Honest opinions please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 NO, look at the laughter lines and the dimple on the first two photos and missing on the third. The face would show them more on the slimmer 3rd face. The ear is different and no 3's chin is more rounded. 2 very similar looking chaps but not the same. What are the stars on the 3rds sleeve.

Adam Llewellyn Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 I would say that the man on the right is the same, just older and more worn. Kevin, don't you think that the laughter lines could be down to expression? Llew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 He has really rather distinctive ears. The one onthe right certainly matches the one on the left (pictures not ears) in my opinion. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 Mike, I reckon the photos are of the same man. As Stebie says, the ears are distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 It was the ears that did it for me also, the 2 smaller pics look as f they were taken at a later date, cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 The photo in the middle is round the wrong way, the gubbins on his sleeve is actually on his right sleeve. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 I would think it is the same man - ears and nose the same. even the tach is similar. stevem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebriggs Posted 9 March , 2008 Author Share Posted 9 March , 2008 dear all Thank you for your responses. I too was pretty confident it was the same man.............but then I've just looked at the man stood behind him and...... . is this a better match? p.s. Mick's right; I reversed the picture to get same face profile (perhaps they're brothers ) I've also looked through his service record and he served as Pnr Sergeant from 1908 to 1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevem49 Posted 10 March , 2008 Share Posted 10 March , 2008 Mike I think they would have to be twins. Even his cap fits the same way on both photos. sm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 10 March , 2008 Share Posted 10 March , 2008 Do you reckon he ran around from one end of the photo to the other whilst the camera was panning?! Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
