I work in the downtown area of my city. Most days, I take a walk to our local grocery store and pick up my lunch. On my walk to the store, I pass a lovely little flea market that displays all sorts of knick knacks. In November, I noticed a set of pictures showing British soldiers in various uniforms. One of them was of a lovely looking chap in a kilt. I had other financial priorities (Christmas and vet bills) but I thought that if it was there in the new year I might treat myself. Well the new year came and went. I had to purchase a new computer, so both my fun money and kilt fund had been depleted. Though I did have my daily visit with my kilted friend to brighten my day, until today. I looked for him but he was not in his usual spot. My heart sank. So I went into the store to enquire about him. I found him just inside on the floor leaning against a bookshelf. The sales lady told me he was part of a set of six (the others were not kilted). Earlier that day a gentleman came in and bought three of the set. She offered me a really great deal because to set was now incomplete. I walked out with him under my arm.

Here he is:


(I will get better pictures tomorrow)


Now that my entertainment budget is now shot, I thought that I would turn him into a research project. The print is by Tom McNeely. If any forum member can help me with any information on the uniform my new friend might be wearing ( or steer me in the right direction) it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sara
Who is very happy .
