6254 Pte Charlie Heaton  [P12-P13]

Identification: The identification of  Pte Charlie Heaton has been made using facial recognition software. A known photo of Charlie taken in 1988 (Stedman) has been compared with the platoon photo taken in 1915. R1 L13 has the highest resemblance level  @ 19.1%. Whilst this resemblance level is quite low, no doubt due to the 73 year time difference, it is significantly higher than the next highest resemblance levels of 9.0%, 7.2% and 6.8%.

Stedman and IWM both use the R1 L13 platoon photo to identify Charlie Heaton. This assessment provides independent verification that R1 L13 is Charlie Heaton
