Seaforth Highlanders?

[BlueHound]

Sorry the cap badges are not so clear, was a terrible photograph I have restored to the best both me and the other restorers on the board can.

Until weekend, we did not believe anyone from this side of the family was in the forces, we had no record of it.  Now, this picture has come to light, along with a reference letter written by a commanding officer of the Seaforth Highlanders, 2nd Battalian.  So, what I need to know, is this the Seaforth Highlanders then? Can anyone identify them?



Many Thanks

Lynda

If I am right, the name of the soldier is probably Peter Lloyd.

Hi Lynda

A close up of the cap badge would be a great help if you can.

I second the previous post! 
Can't tell you what they are right now, but I can tell you what they're not, and that is Seaforth Highlanders. Sorry to chuck a spanner in the works

No, thats fine - at least I can stop the search on them, little info I could find anyway.

The photo was in very poor condition, as were the badges, having gone through every single cap badge this is the best I can do, and I know its not good sorry just gives the general shape really.



Now a total mystery to me who they are.

Really hard to tell from that pic but as neil says not Seaforths.

Sorry not a good enough picture.  I do have another I have yet to restore of 2 soldiers, maybe same reg? will get onto that one next then.

Any idea of a year?

thanks for help so far.

Thanks Preshous, see your point now   Definatly not the highlanders, so now totally confused who the reference letter was for who was apparently a piper in the Highlanders for 14 years

Will try get to restore the other picture, which seems now to be WW2 and not WW1 as we thought, leading to a lot further confusion on who on earth it is.

Thank you so much for help, saved me going down blind mans alley
