    Hi, Diane, and welcome to XMTS from the bottom end of Africa.
    Afraid I’m not much help when it comes to identifying old uniforms, but I am confident you will get the help you need here.
    Regards,

    Hello everyone,

    The more I learn, the more curious things get. Mom didn't know the history of the kilt, so I will ask my aunt and uncle if they remember anything Grandpa said about it.

    So I went digging for more information online. I did find that 3 of my grandfather's brothers joined the military in Canada. One is buried in military cemetery in Belgium. Two were with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the third is still a mystery for now.

    I don't think I would have found that information if you didn't take an interest in my question and get me thinking about a military connection. Spurred me on to dig for information. I even found a photo of the gravestone in Belgium!!

    I will post what I find out about the kilt when I get some answers.

    Thank you all,
    Diane
