Have been bothered by this for years. Amongst my great grandmothers posessions (she passed away in 1988) was an empty envelope, adressed to her from France, dated December 1917. It was empty, but years later I noticed it had a small signature at the bottom where the sender signed 'G.Dixon'. She had a brother George Dixon b.1894, so I assume he went to the Front. However I have had no luck tracing him on Medal cards etc as the name so common.
Now when looking through her photos, there are four or five photos unidentified of men in uniform circa WWI, I wonder whether one is George and was originally in the envelope alongside the letter?
Anyway seeing the wonders done here before identifying, placing and dating photos I have decided to scan them and post them up here. She obviously knew all these men, (she had quite a few brothers of war age, they may have all fought).
Will not post them all at once, but will start with this one. Have blown it up, it's actually a tiny little cabinet photo, so could well have been in with the letter, and looks to me as if it was taken at the front. Could it be George? Any help with uniform/regiment etc?:
The above is scaled, there's a full size (600dp) scan here, if it helps at all to identify it: http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...8024022pm2.jpg
