Tom A McCluskey Posted 3 April , 2011 Share Posted 3 April , 2011 Ron, I reckon photo #550 (7th Black Watch) is of the 2nd Line. The older men do not look like veterans (nae medals). Only a four of the lads have taken the Imperial Service Obligation, of which none of the older lads have; just a thought, anyway. Aye, Tom McC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 11 May , 2011 Share Posted 11 May , 2011 Thanks Ron. Regarding the Piper, I don't suppose you have a name, or a year do you? Also Where do you get all these photographs/Postcards? They are fantastic. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mike, unfortunatly very few cards have names on the back, I think most of the Territorial Camp postcards date from 1910-1914. The photos come from many sources military fairs postcard fairs coin stamp and medal dealers,ebay and ephemera auctions. The cards have been run through restore and scratch removal software which is why they look so clear. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
