As soon as Dad saw the picture he said, "That looks like a Scarland. there were two brothers and one was Percy, can't remember the other's name." He can't be 100% sure about this man's identity but he said the resemblance is there. Judging by the formal attire and flower in the buttonhole it looks as if he might be bestman at a wedding, perhaps. (From Gillian Barker Reilly AU.)
