![]() | Stranger Than Fiction The five Scottish soldiers are Gordon Highlanders. Tom Florence, Henry Gray, John Cran (m Claire Barklay), James Gall and one other. The man on the right is not named and his fate is unknown. All the others survived the war. Henry was injured by shrapnel on his first visit to the front line trenches . Note the headgear. Two are wearing Glengarries with tartan borders and the other three are wearing Balmorals. This highland regiment wore the kilt through out the war but due to the muddy state of the Flanders trenches canvas aprons or skirts were supplied to protect them. The five men pictured are in the aprons which you can see has a front pocket where normally the sporran would be. There is an old joke What do Scotsmen wear under their kilts? This does not tell us but it does tell us what they wore over them. | |
