Aunt Emily, her brother Samuel and her mother - WW1

This is clearly my great grandmother Dorothy Bailey née Robinson (seated) and her daughter, my great aunt Emily, but who is the soldier? Due to Aunt Emily's presence I guessed it was her husband Herbert Potter (they had married in 1910); however, he would have been 37 when WW1 started, and this chap does not look that age. Also, in another photo of Aunt Emily at about the same time she is with a different man and a baby - I assume her husband and child.
I think, therefore, that this is probably her brother Samuel, presumably taken before Samuel set off to take part in WW1.
I don't know of any other photos of Samuel that could confirm this (I have asked a number of descendants of his siblings).
