Photographs wanted for volume 3 of my Great War badge books - The Royal Scots TF Battalions

[poona guard]

Does any one have photos of the overseasTF battalions of the Royal Scots 1914-1919 they would like to have published and acknowledged in the book?

I hope to be inundated.

Hello, many of the photos I've gathered from various places for 9th Royal Scots are on flickr here https://www.flickr.com/photos/124517446@N04/

@eltoro1960 has a lot of newspaper scans here you could ask him about https://www.newbattleatwar.com/apps/photos/ 

 

On badges, Westlake has one of the 1/9th Royal Scots with part of the T filed off to look like a 1.

Hi Neill,

Thanks for the link which has really good pictures - a fine collection. I would like to use some of them, with your permission and acknowledgement in the book if that is okay? If so, how do I copy them as a plain copy produces nothing?

Best,

Dave

Morning Dave, as I say they come from various sources, I have tried to put the source in the comments for each image where I can (the example Ray used has an EBay link but these have a habit of expiring). You are free to use any of mine.

All the best, Neill

[poona guard]

Thanks Neill.

Best,

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

do you need examples of London Regiment badges. E.g 2nd London Irish?

[poona guard]

Hi Mark,

I need photos of any TF battalion that shows either metal or cloth badges. Any help much appreciated.

Excellent stuff, badges always welcome. I will be posting requests in the near future for specific but anything is welcome as some of my illustrations are not always of good quality.

Best,

The Long Long Trail image is of flags not badges. Where is the Bill Hay photo?

Hello Poona Guard

Here is a link to a photo of ,although captioned as 1/9th R.S, are  I think, soldiers of 5/6th R.S. in 32nd Div. A diamond above a single company stripe?
