Nothing spectacular jumped out at me when I first purchased this image on eBay last week. I knew it was likely identified, but I wasn’t sure the name would be searchable. I was pleasantly surprised when the photo arrived and I was able to read the name and successfully search for his name on ancestry.com. He was born in 1895 and passed away in 1978 in Springfield, CO. This photo was likely taken in 1919 after the Armistice. Note the use of French numeric pins on his overseas cap.
Very cool photo!
that is my great great uncle Victor Harry Horner
Just wondered how you were related to Victor Harry Horner?? He is my great great grandpa.
His name was on the back of the photo. I identified him through ancestry.com!
That’s my Great Grandpa!! How did you identify him?? Is there any chance you would be willing to sell the picture?? Thank you!!!
