Soldier #1 looks like he is early 20s. In fact, my 24 year old son looks about the same age, but he was never in a war, which ages you.
Soldier #2 looks older...at least 30 years old, and my guess is about 33 (not factoring any aging from the wear and tear of war). That would match up with your theory, that #2 is Dickson.
Looking at the soldiers laid out in a row, the nearest one looks mid-30s. The next one, looks about 26-27, the 3rd one is hard to tell due to the angle but he looks 30+, and the 4th one looks the oldest...mid-30s, but older than the first in the row. The rest are indistinguishable.
Certainly, Soldier #1 is the youngest looking of all the ones that can be seen amongst the various pictures. The only one that looks reasonably close is the second one in the row. This too would support your theory that Soldier #1 is Waters......but do others come up with similar ages (or ranking of ages from youngest to oldest)?
Of course, some people can look surprisingly older or younger...think of Dick Clark the TV personality...he looked way younger than his real age. People have always thought of me as being about 5 years younger than I actually am.

Late in the war many non commissioned officers did not wear stripes, their men already knew who they were and their rank.
Interesting, I didn't know that....always learning!
