Argyll or Blackwatch?

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Thanks Mark... Karmen spent quite a while today online and came to the same conclusions, albeit without reference to the collar dogs. I agree ref the pips.

Hmmm... so I have an unknown relative in the Black Watch. Now I'm going to have to find out who he was.... dammit! I wish the photo was duly marked, but it is not.

Hi Geoff;

The 2Lt. is Black Watch, the cap badge is the give away, if he were A&SH, the cap badge would be oval in shape and the 'Glen' would be diced. Also, if he were A&SH, his 'collar dogs' would appear as two joined circles.

Also, this photo is from the early war years judging by the position of his 'pip'

Hope this helps.

Cheers
