    INTERESTING PHOTO WW1

    Photo sent to me by Nigel Eyre of 2 Scots Guards, who doesn't know who they are.
    This looks to me like a sniper course from circa WW1 with the Sergeant in the centre. Sadly no badges or collar dogs to try and identify the unit.
    Could be Edinburgh Castle looking at the background..............variation of belts worn in the shot could signify the Regiments, haversack/scopes slung over their shoulders!!.........anybody any thoughts. Two Leather scope containers on the deck.
    Could be wrong but didn't the Black Watch have an S style belt catch?
