Highland Regiments footwear during the Great War

[kilted redleg]

As a veteran of the US Army, I found the barrack picture quite interesting. To quote Steve Ashton in the military everything is matchy matchy. Why the split of footwear under the bed; the two dress shoes on either side of the boots? I took basic at Fort Knox in Kentucky, beds were bunked two to cubical one soldier's head was north the other south [to stop the spread of germs we were told]. Th Army logo and motto "This We'll Defend" was on the latrine door, but no one had the guts to ask why if attacked we were going to defend the latrine. Our dress shoes were kept in a locker with our other uniforms in a proscribed manner. The latrine as you walked in and turned left was the shower room; walk straight and there was the sinks and toilets all in the same room, no divider. The room was like a green house full of windows. I was in delta platoon and while you were taking care of business you could watch Alpha and Bravo train. I think these were constructed just prior to WW2 this was 1973 they were never torn down.
Thank God the women didn't train at good old Fort Knox!
