Uniform WW1 or WW2 ?

[jim1]

The 2nd. man is wearing the standard Army tunic as apposed
to the 1st. man who is wearing the Scottish version.
These are the Scottish Regt's. that didn't wear the kilt (according to the internet):
Scots Guards
Royal Scots
Royal Scots Fusiliers
King’s Own Scottish Borderers
Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
Highland Light Infantry
Make of it what you will.

Jim1 and Morris2013,
As I mentioned above, I don't think there's much doubt about soldier one (George?) being in the A&SH. However I suspect the date of the photograph could be any time between 1912 and 1939. Battle dress wasn't introduced until around 1938-9.
Since that exact identity of both soldiers now seems to be in doubt, is there any reason to assume that the photos were during wartime?

Thank you.

If the solo photo is WW1, then he would have been 34 at the start of the war, already married over 12 years and with 6 children by then. He was Scottish, but I can find no record of his WW1 service on Ancestry, possibly because he had such  a common name', but have messaged someone on Ancestry  to see if he knows any more. The only image I have seen of him is as a much older man, and this photo could be him aged 34.

The 'family photo' is supposed to be Peter, wife,  and child.
Peter served 1914 - 1920, a Private in the  2nd Kings Own Scottish Borderers
Married 1916, but first child not until 1924. Unless there was an earlier daughter we do not know about

Peter's brother Thomas looked so much like him they could have been twins.
Thomas served 1915 - 1919 Lance Corporal Seaforth Highlanders, and finally Acting Sergeant RAMC
Married 1917 and first child a son 1921

Again I think the photo is mislabelled and the mystery is who is the little girl?

Thanks again for your comments

George is not in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, they have red and white dicing on their glengarry.


The Cameron Highlanders is more likely:
