Here's the picture as you PMed it to me. Not sure what you're doing that doesn't work.

So...Would this fit with an A and SH piper of 1918/19 at all pse anyone??

Great photo!

Yes A&SH piper would be my guess, due to the grey sporran with black tassels and the shape of the cap-badge.

I wish we could see the sporran better, see the cantle, or see the cap badge better, either of which would give a positive ID.

Another thing we can't see, which would give a strong clue as to regiment, would be his flashes.

The Argylls and the Black Watch wore the same style of flashes, quite different to the Seaforths, Gordons, or Camerons.

Excellent thanks...I opined as much before joining, but I thought id better ask someone with better kilt/sporran knowledge than myself!

You can see what i meant with the hands being in just the wrong place!!
