Remembered Today:

Amusing photo -- who are they?

I was surprised to see this on a site that adds funny captions on old photos.

Their badges look large enough to be Argyle & Sutherland Highlanders, but I dont think the rest of the uniform matches up. They appear to be wearing plain kilts rather than khaki kilt aprons. Could they be London Scottish with hodden grey kilts or maybe Canadians with drab kilts?

Interestingly this image was used as a 'Tit-bits' coloured postcard issued during the war. I'll have a look for more info on my copy!

It seems unlikely that the Flying Scotsman's kilt would have remained so decorously deployed. Has he perhaps been 'touched up' ... :whistle:

I'd go London Scottish; I can't see any tartan on the kilts. Thank the Lord for centripetal force I say (I think :wacko: )!

An early example of the use of what is, I believe, called t*t tape.

definitely London Jocks; I'm not entirely unconvinced that one or two aren't wearing the regiemntal diced hose.
