marina Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 Got it at last! Have they actually identified the soldier, or only established that he was Scots? Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Robertson Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 Did Scottish boots differ from other nationalities? Seems a trifle strange that they can say that he is Scottish on the evidence of boots alone. Whoever he his, god bless him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo67 Posted 4 June , 2005 Share Posted 4 June , 2005 The news report says that they were able to identify the british uniform from pieces of boot, belt and buttons.
