    Here are 2 photos of a couple of my great grand uncles (the brothers of my great grandmother).





    Can anyone identify the uniforms?

    Cheers,

    Michael

    Cheers, Eddie.
    There are lots of words that can be used to describe that postcard but I wouldn't have said "cute" was one of them!

    Was he a Pipe Major with the Argylls? It looks like he's got Argyll coller badges. Do you have any history on him?

    I happened upon this photo online, and thought I'd share it. Apparently, not all Scotts go regimental. The photo dates from 1950, and was taken at an event in Scotland. Looks like a wrestling contest? AND, they are in their stocking feet outside! As Kelda of my clan, I disapprove of spoiling one's hose in such a way.
