NorthStaffsPOW Posted 8 August , 2019 Share Posted 8 August , 2019 In the foreground you can see the distinctive pommel of a Ross Rifle bayonet, so I'm going to go with some sodt of Canadian Scottish unit when combined with the kilts and caps. I'm sure someone will be able to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStaffsPOW Posted 8 August , 2019 Share Posted 8 August , 2019 Actually looking at the cap badge I think the unit is The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) of Canada. Although I am only viewing this on a phone screen so willing to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Atkins Posted 8 August , 2019 Share Posted 8 August , 2019 I think that's a good shout, certainly looks (on my phone) like Black Watch badge and glengarry - I can't identify any difference at this distance between Scottish and Canadian Royal Highlander versions, though that doesn't mean an expert couldn't, but a Ross rifle would be a very strong pointer for the latter. Their shoulder titles were, I think, a brass RHC: can't make out on my phone if they're in evidence in the photo though? Cheers, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmarsden Posted 8 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 8 August , 2019 Yes I agree, looking at the shoulder title it reads RHC and not RH. Also the civilians in the background seem to have a colonial style to their dress. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoon Posted 8 August , 2019 Share Posted 8 August , 2019 I'm with Ron, I can make out a C on the end of the three letter title, so I'd say Black Watch of Canada Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
