Guest Hill 60 Posted 5 June , 2003 Share Posted 5 June , 2003 On the poorly blown-up image that I looked at, the capbadges look like the Black Watch..but, weren't they a kilted regiment? Could they be cyclists (Highland Cyclist Bn) who just happen to have found a Vickers next to one of their tents and wanted a group photo taken?

Gary Samson Posted 5 June , 2003 Share Posted 5 June , 2003 I think Shakespeare had it as "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers". Ian's merry lot had obviously been down the pub for a few bevvies beforehand! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 5 June , 2003 Share Posted 5 June , 2003 Sorry Gents - it's all in the clue! Ian Ah, but when King Henry says that, he's talking to his cousin, the Duke of WESTMORELAND, see? Hence - 1/4th (Cumberland and WESTMORELAND) Battalion, the Border Regiment. Ah well, I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
