FotSW character decoder

I am watching First of the Summer Wine but getting confuses as to who is supposed to be who. Though I'm still working on the visuals (Foggy being the easiest to pick out because of his stature and uniform). I asked for some clarification and received the following. I'm probably the only one not picking up on this but posting below for edification of those who may also be curious.

For me, the tone was a bit ominous because we were given the date at the start of each episode as a reminder that war was coming closer and closer. That added a sense of desperation to the normal adolescent social fumbling.

I think Wally was easy to pick out by his size and the way he spoke, I think it was the same for Compo. I do like First of the Summer Wine I thought it was done very well, they all knew war was coming but carried on with their adolescents for as long as they could.

The mannerisms of young Seymour were spot on with the older version

Is Richard Lumsden who played Foggy in FOTSW any relation to Geoffrey Lumsden who played Captain Square in Dad's Army?

He was Emna Thompsons brother in law at one.point.
