The picture on the right is a snap shot of George's last visit home to see family. The picture on the left appeared in a Legion Magazine in April 1955 which, according to information sent to us , points to it being our uncle. The time, place, regiment and an uncanny family resemblance lead my family to believe that this in fact Uncle George.
