Thank you, Mr Scully (and Mr Crow)!  Thumb1:

I was obviously unaware of this. Is a scanned original document available anywhere?

The first doc. is available at fold3.com . It is a subscription site, height and weight are on back of the form,
my screen shot trigger finger is  barely quick enough to capture the image of the front of the 1942 draft form...
The enlistment form displays only as text on ancestry.com and was captured in a screen shot.

We can't tell that from viewing that Gif.

Agreed, if Oswald was walking past wouldn't Lovelady be looking up at Oswald's face and tracking Oswald as he walks by?



And even as Oswald is leaving Lovelady is still not looking up at Oswald and just seems to be generally looking at the people walking by.

Not sure what we are debating, but in the lower picture you posted Lovelady's head has turned in Oswald's general direction and was not fixed in a fashion of simply gazing "generally at people walking by". His head appears tilted slightly upward and in a way that would enable facial recognition.

To me in the following video capture, as Oswald leaves the area, Lovelady has either not recognised or has seen and has no further interest in Oswald. Lovelady appears to be looking below the shoulder level of the man highlighted with pink and maybe Lovelady was just checking out who was who by their clothes and badges? If Lovelady was still looking towards Oswald's face/head, Lovelady's head would be at the same angle as Oswald's and would be more tilted up, imo.

Thank you very much for this, Mr Scully!  Thumb1:

It would be great to see the back of the form, where the key physical details are...

Friends, thanks to Mr Scully, it looks like the 'Jack Dougherty' rabbit-hole is blocked up!

So this guy in the background is definitely not Mr Dougherty, right?



Is he definitely Mr Lovelady?
