Alastair Posted 15 February , 2011 Share Posted 15 February , 2011 The Scottish Rifles are from the 7th battalion and the photographs taken in front of a stone building covered in ivy are actually in front of what is now Abbotsgrange Church in Grangemouth, formerly Kerse Parish Church taken in September 1914. I suspect that many of them are from B Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
