David McNay would be too modest to post this here himself but this is a cracking video on Youtube featuring a collection of photographs of Great War servicemen.



Thanks

The first three photos are of the 10/11th Highland Light Infantry, the very first photo being my wife's grandfather John Struthers. He was taken prisoner in March 1918.

As for the others, the only info I have is for some of the units. The three men in a boat are Lanarkshire Yeomanry; as for the others I'd need to check again. There's a mixture of Scottish units in there, including some more HLI, some Argylls and at least one Scottish Horse.

There's a photo of a man in full gear standing outside a hut who I believe is 10th Gordon Highlanders.

Thanks for all the kind comments on this video. It was a "trial" run to see how it turned out so I'm pleased it got positive feedback.
