Is this Walter Brind?

Hi Jonathan.

I hope you are ok. I couldnt remember if I had sent that photo, so just incase I didnt Im resending it.

The photo was taken at my grandads uncle Walter's (Willsher) wedding. My grandads sister has seen the photo and she doesnt recognise the man stood next to her mum. Her mum, my gt-grandmother (Walter Johns wife) is stood in the back row, center. My gt-grandmother only had brothers (I think there were 5 in total). All her brothers were in the army.

The things going FOR the man stood to her right being Walter John Brind is.... there are no photos and noone knows what he looked like the wedding photo was taken in the short time Walter John and my gt-grandmother were married. Walter was in the army

The things going AGAINST the man stood to her right being Walter John Brind is.... Walter Willsher had 4 brothers. It could simply be one of his brothers being a best man All Walters brothers were in the army

Also as far as everyone knows, there was no photos taken at Walter John's and my gt-grandmothers wedding. Could they have had this taken because they didn't have their own wedding photo taken? Do different regiments in the army have different uniforms? I guess I could always look on the wedding certificate, although this still doesn't mean the man in the photo is the best man. Also why would my grandad keep a photo of his uncle's wedding and none of his mum's second marriage to his step dad. He always called (and thought of his step dad) as his real dad.

Hopefully it's not too confusing.
