This is a photograph of my grandfather James Watkins (b.1902 in Pontypool, Monmouthshire) who died in 1964 before I was born - I have his naval record and have tracked down his paternal side. My father knew very little about him and very little is known about his Scottish ancestry. We do know that he is related to a Rose Campbell whose family originated from Invergordon and moved to South Wales, however as yet have not been able to find a clear link If anyone can enlighten me as to the significance of his clothing in this photo or any further information I would be eternally grateful. Any clues will do.
