Scottish Medicals ?
« on: Thursday 05 September 13 10:24 BST (UK) »
Found this picture postcard in family papers.Have no clue as to where taken and what uniform but noted kilts and red cross .The chap in breeches looks like grt uncle J.M.Percy Ross  b 1876 Braelangwell,Ross-shire but this chap looks older - maybe his cap gives that impression.His brother Errington b 1871 was a Lovat Scout and raised an Inverness Militia according to Percy.Sorry to be so vague. They were all gone before I arrived !

Arm bands indicate Stretcher Bearer, Officer next to padre is  rank of Captain and quite possibly Royal Army Medical Corps.  Although indistinct, his collar "dogs" resemble those of the RAMC.
Difficult to make out any info on the Highlanders with kilts although the one on the extreme left middle row  as we look at it has a medal ribbon.
