This one is a mystery, not sure which war or who the men are. They could be associated with my grandfather Thomas Holland or my father Richard Holland. Help appreciated.

very hansome chaps the soldier on the left looks to have a false hand or severe burns might be a clue to finding who they are

Julie - that's actually damage to the photograph, and not injury scars.

Judging by the uniforms they look to be later part of WW2. Open neck on battle dress tunic and collar and tie.

The bloke on the right.I'm pretty sure was in the TA same time as me. That was the compulsory Ta you had to do when you had finished national service in the 50's .Chec TA site ,his pick is in there.Forget his name.

Hi,if you compare to the previous photo, Richard Holland and others and compare facial structure and hairlines etc, I think it is Richard Holland centre with the chap from the previous photo (on the left)

By the way I think I may see Richard Holland at Hindley clinic?
