Peterhastie Posted 7 March , 2015 Share Posted 7 March , 2015 Anyone recognise the photo, Northumberland Fusiliers, but which Bn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 8 March , 2015 Share Posted 8 March , 2015 Hi Peter, Possibly 6th Bn with the reference 'The Laads Frae Canny Newcastle'. I would have thought that they are more likely to be Territorials rather than a Service Bn--but then? There do not appear to be any other obvious pointers but possibly if Graham picks up your posting then he may have some ideas. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterhastie Posted 8 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 8 March , 2015 Thanks Robert. It has been intimated, elsewhere, that they are Tyneside Scottish. I think not, as i have not seen TS with dress caps on before, only Glengarries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 8 March , 2015 Share Posted 8 March , 2015 I can see why someone has picked the Tyneside Scottish as a possibility--but I think more likely Scotsmen from Newcastle who joined the 6th Bn or another battalion, but certainly not the Tyneside Scottish for my money. The Newcastle Commercials is another possibility. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyneside Chinaman Posted 8 March , 2015 Share Posted 8 March , 2015 Howay man, theyre service battalion, 10. 11 12, 13 or 14. Definitely not territorials! and the suggestion they are TS is laughable - but one way a dealer will increase the price to an unwise or new collector. compare this one of the 10th or 11th Bns at Bramshott. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
