WWI photo uniform identification pls
« on: Friday 18 January 13 04:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

just came across these photos. Wondering if anyone can assist to identify the uniform?

The group shot was sent as postcard to a Mr Kirkwood who lived in Rose St Kirkintilloch Scotland.

thanks for your assistance

Going by the shape and form of the badge I would suggest that the first image is that of a group from the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders whilst the second one is that of a soldier in the Royal Scots Fusiliers.
