Never having served myself (two attempts to join the Army then RN Reserves both failed on ground of history of depression) I regard it an honour and a privilege to wear the uniform that represents someone who did. The two Societies that I am associated with (GWS and Scots at War) have at their heart a desire to educate the public about the highs and lows of life as a serving British Army soldier during the world wars, honour and perpetuate their memory, and continually learn more about their experiences including use of kit etc. The Great War Society website The Great War Society The Scots at War website Scots at War Which RSF battalion are you portraying. Not all of the regiment’s battalion’s wore a tartan patch, although I know that the 4th (TF) did. This image shows the frayed edges very well, but I’m not sure which battalion it is.

My knowledge of other theatres is poor and I have done more research around the battles is Loos and of the Somme therefore it would be the 7th Battalion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of RSF photographs without. Edited 2 July , 2023 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
