Help with Scottish Regt Please.
« on: Monday 28 August 23 20:38 BST (UK) »
We have Two Brothers who served in WW1 in separate Scottish Regts.
One in the Argyll and Sunderland Highlanders
One in the Seaforth Highlanders
The Family has a Photo of One of them but it is not known which brother it is.
The Question is : Can the Glengarry in the Photo give a Clue which Scottish Regt it is ?

I created this Biography in 2021 for Unknown Soldier on our Liverpoolpals Memorial Roll of Honour- which was a Challenge
But now find we have to delete the Photo from the Biography as we now find it's not him in the Argyll and Sunderland Highlanders pre Pals but is a Photo of his Elder Brother Walden (Edward) Bradley who was in the Seaforth Highlanders before the ASC - Thanks to your Help clarifying things

Having just read the correspondence in this one, just to say thank you for helping to answer a question I had about a photo of my Grandfather, John Cumming Smith.

He was in both the Seaforth Highlanders and the Argyll and Sutherland’s during WW1. Extract from Morayshire Roll of Honour attached.

Also I’ve attached the photo in question which shows him (taller chap standing at back).

From the information kindly provided it’s great to get confirmation he and his three comrades in the photo are indeed Seaforths.

I’m trying to find out how I can get information about his military service in both Regiments, grateful for any pointers.

Thanks again.
