Soren Posted 25 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 November , 2005 One thing that worries me, would they or rather he worn a kilt in these conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted 26 November , 2005 Share Posted 26 November , 2005 Soren, Photos from the Liverpool Scottish Reigmental Museum website show some soldiers at the front circa 1915. They show the kilt being worn, although in one picture a suspect that there are also trousers. The men also seem to be wearing a mixture of Glengarries and cap-comforters. Roxy.

CarylW Posted 26 November , 2005 Share Posted 26 November , 2005 Soren Your drawings are just amazing! Not only that but they have a real period feel about them and movement as if you were actually there Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 2 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 2 December , 2005 Where did you learn to draw Soren? They just get better and better. M Mainly in Borstal, and then I did a degree during the last three years of my 12 year prison sentence. Which is not bad considering that I had to do it in a straight jacket and draw with my mouth and crayons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted 2 December , 2005 Share Posted 2 December , 2005 The things that they let you do in prison these days! I think that you would have better off turning big rocks into small rocks! And then being forced to draw pictures about your experiences...with your mouth and crayons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
