    Black Watch officer's in the Boer war

    Hello everyone,

    In doing a bit of research for an upcoming reenactment project on the Officer's of the Black Watch during the Boer wars. While I know it was common place for them to adopt rank and file valise/SW equipment and carry rifles to make them less a target for the Boers. The question is on sporrans in home service kit(red coat) the gilt cantle is seen however in KD I'm finding it hard to get pictures of officers at all! One I have seen shows an officer seated wearing valise/SW kit sword and what looks like and or's sporran.
