Hi, just introduced myself on this thread.
Attached are two photos that came in the packet of materials I received from my late uncle. I am not sure exactly who this person is yet, but would be grateful for any clues that can be gleaned from the photo:
1) Regiment
2) Rank
3) Approximate date the photo was taken
4) Any background information on the studio where the photos were taken
I'm thinking the photos were taken at different times. It almost looks like the soldier has a mustache in the photo where he is wearing the cap, but not in the photo with the plumed helmet. He also looks a bit leaner in the photo wearing a cap, and there appears to be a button present on his collar in one photo (plumed helmet), that is not present in the other.
I think if you click on the photos they'll enlarge nicely so the details show.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated,
Nick
