5th. k.o.s.b. dumfries

My father was in the 5th. k.o.s.b in Dumfries I recall he was a colour sergeant, he served in the 1950s, until probably 1959 I remember my father being heavily involved in organising a tatoo in the late 50s. Has anyone got any information about those days. regards stoop.

My grandfather and his father served with the 5th K.O.S.B. Dumfries in WW1. I donated his glengarry and badges to dumfries museum, they might help.
If you google K.O.S.B. you will get the army museum at Berwick on Tweed, there is a family history link with a list of addresses that might help you.
