Help with ID and translation

[J.LeBrasseur]

Guy's just picked up literally 100's of pics, will go through as I can and post the real cool ones, some will be off to Ebay. If you are looking for anything in particular, let me know.

Can anyone ID this fellow, and or translate what is written on the front?

Appreciate the help

James

Is that wounds or marks on his face or picture deterioration ?

Whenever I see a scar on the left cheek it makes me think of dueling scars. don't know if it is applicable in this case.
