Kilts in the trenches
Thought I would share a photo gallery from The Gurardian online. The gallery is "The first world war in stereoscope... photographs from the front line" and you need to scroll to the last photo to see the one of all the Highlanders in the trenches. Make sure to view all the photos, they are quite incredible. Link provided below.

My father was at Cambrai with the Gordons in 1917 and was set alight by a flammerwerfer (flame thrower). He was able to remove his flaming kilt as he escaped from the melee but had to lie in a bath in hospital for a year during the healing process - no antibiotics in those days. But a plus point for the kilt!

Eternal honour and gratitude to those who fought for freedom.
Eternal personal sorrow for humanity, that far, far, far beyond horrific-tragic, preventable war was ever fought.
