Where can I find out about the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders during the Great War?

Another resource about WWI units is The Great War forum.

A quick search found this discussion

About the appearance of the 1/7 Argylls, from the photos I'm seeing they appear to wear the ordinary A&SH uniform.

I looked through a number of the photos linked to above, and I'm seeing what appear to be the ordinary A&SH cap badges and collar badges, Glengarry dicing, etc.

Supposing that the 7th looked much like the Regular battalions, here are some photos giving an idea of their appearance.

The tidied-up uniform. On active service the sporran would be been replaced by an apron or even a gas-mask bag, the spats replaced by puttees, and the full P08 webbing equipment worn.



Here are Highlanders in combat kit



I did find this badge online. I'm not seeing WWI photos of members of the 7th Argylls wearing it, so it is probably a pre-1908 badge.

try to find this book. Look like a great resource in question.

Richard, I thank you kindly. I had done some googling around, and had seen the Great War Forum, but didn't turn up anything like the pictures you found. This is precisely what I was looking for.

Best,
Kenneth

Thank you all for your help with this. It's not much, but I was able to find the War Diary for the 7th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, including the relevant date of death. This might be as close as I get, though I haven't consulted the museum at Stirling Castle yet.

In Canal Bank at 6:15pm. Battalion moved off from Canal Bank to relieve 9th R.S. in front line. Owing to a raid carried out by the Division on our right & heavy shelling, relief was delayed. "A" Con. were on right, C•6•B, and D, "C" Con. on Left, V•30•C and C•6•D, B Con in support, C•5•A and "D" Con in reserve, at C•4•D, C•10a, and C•10•b. Casualties 5 or killed 11 or wounded ARB.

Thank you, I did. There's a good chance my great-great-uncle was involved in the same action.
