Is there anything "official" on the photograph? If he was born in Scotland then he could have been in the British Army and could well have served in India. Apart from WWII I would have thought that the only American servicemen to have served in India would be attached to their Embassy or Consulates.

Here is the part that is presenting itself as a mystery to me: I have a formal military photo of my grandfather (WR Whitehead, Jr.) taken when he was 18. On the back a great deal is written about where he was stationed, et al. In the first paragraph it says this though: “William Roscoe Whitehead – 18 yrs” “son of Mr. And Mrs. WR Whitehead – Scotland” Then it goes on to say that he is stationed in India, etc. Scotland obviously is not Louisiana. Any ideas that might help explain the seeming discrepancy between the census and the photo? As usual, any help or pointers at all will be helpful.
