James Berry - 79th New York Highlanders in the spring of 1861

I have a picture of his regiment marching in New York around the same time......
Organized in 1859, the 79th Regiment of the New York State Militia was comprised primarily of emigrant Scots and Scottish-Americans. The militia was modeled after the famous Scottish regiment of the British Army, “The Cameron Highlanders” as were the uniforms.

my great grandfather jock bruce (1897- 1984 ) this was him taken around the first world war i`m unsure the tartan (blackwatch perhaps)though i`ll find out and re-edit this post to let folk know... he lied about his age to get into the army





my grandfather stanley chisholm (1912-1978) taken pre world war 2 wearing a balmoral style hat and no sporran with the gas mask bag round the shoulder ,as far as im aware he was in the army many years before ww2 and was one of the unlucky ones to be captrued at dunkirk defending the line
with the British 51st Highland division and sadly trapped in one of the stalag xx camps for about 5 years till the russians freed them




my grandfather stanley again(front right ) this time wearing a glengarry style hat with other lads im unsure of anyone elses names in that photo and unsure whether its prewar war or not

Britain seen in colour for the first time was heralded as a great technical advance for the cinema audience - now we can view a much improved image, but one which still stays true to the principles of the colour process.

There are more vintage videos from BFI Films.
