Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders platoon? Scotland 1914?
« on: Friday 07 November 14 22:12 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone colourise this photo?  Can anyone here with a knowledge of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders identify this picture from circa 1914? What battalion, squad, armoury, members, etc.?

My g-grandfather Herbert William Frew is second top left

Can't say exactly which Battalion but this looks like a Coy. from the TF possibly on annual training.

Thanks jim1 - it must be the TF because of the wee lad at the front - could it be the 8th?

There were a number of TF Batts. They were raised in different locations so knowing where he lived would narrow it down.

thanks jim1 and Trishanne

He apparently lived in Gouroch, Scotland at least between 1914 and 1920

That is really cool colouring work...thanks so much

Going by his location I would say it would have to be the 1/5 or 2/5 as these were TF Batts. raised at Greenock which was only 2mls. from Gourock.

you asked for your picture to be coloured, i've done this but I can't upload it, error file too big, I changed the size and got the same message, what am I doing wrong?
