I do not think the identification of the man on the first post is correct.I beleave the man is my Grandfather CHARLES THOMAS DULY. My grandfather was with the railways.and based at Hastings and Ore. This photo was in the entrance hall of their bungalo at Ore.for as long as I can remember.and grandpa always tol me it was of him. I still have a photo of the advert. On the back of which my late father has written..Grandpa DULY.Charingcross 1930
