Please identify the regiment

I don't know what the quality will be like, but here is 66 Div. badge.

Ooh this is getting interesting!!

Learned discourse!!

Personally I blame Adolf...If it wasn't for him we could see everybody's documents! 

Then all our answers would be easy!

What I was getting at is that as you look down the line of KOSBs, the thistle device turns into something very like the button thing above the bn scout badge...

Hi,

The soldier in the photograph is not 9th Division. The size of the photograph would make the metal thistle emblem - which was worn in 1918 and not before - clear. The thing on his arm looks like a button. In the photograph, the soldier is wearing brogues and a Glengarry - rarely worn after 1915.

Also, by 1918 I would expect to see overseas chevrons and a 1914/15 ribbon - if he's been abroad.

1916 - 9th Div wore arcs, pre 1916 Regimental tartan.

15 Division - Coy insignia only for infantry - wedge and circle worn by ancillaries, not the infantry.

Aye

10th Black Watch were transferred to 66 Div, and were returned to the Western Front in July 1918...Could be a pic from then...Hence the lack of 26th Div tribal distinctions....

Not part of part of 66th Divison until 1918:

(In the voice of Andy Pipkin from Little Britain) Yeah...I know....

No! here's what you put Scrim

Reading that you'd assume  10th Divison were in 66th Division long before 1918.
