So would this be considered rare? Or is it a print? Is there a ballpark time period that this may have been taken, and is this a military uniform? Can anyone elaborate on the time he served, and can anyone verify 100% who it is? I'm looking to collect as much information as possible. Please enlighten me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Through Google images I am unable to source a picture the same as this which makes me think it is rare, but what does the vandyk mean? Is that the photographer? I see a few old photos similar to this with the same mark.

I would not use google image finder to judge how rare its, it's a nice photo btw.

I'm 110% positive of who this is. He served in WWI,
and yes, 'Vandyke' is the photographer. ( King
Edward VIII's abdication is very well known
- one of the biggest 'scandals' of the
20th Century. )

Could be an authentic photo. Minimal research
would have to be carried out to know if it's
his actual signature or not.........

He's also known as the Duke of Windsor.
