WWI Canadian 42nd Highlander pic

While on another forum trying to learn how to work leather I came across this picture of a member's grandfather. So, with his permission I'm posting it here for everyone to see. His grandfather served with the Canadian 42nd Highlanders during WWI in France. Here he is kilted. I think it's very sharp indeed. Oh, and the guy still has his grandfather's sporran.

What a great family heirloom! And the photo to go with it to explain what the heck it is to future generations is a real blessing.

That's a great photo!

I used to have some of my great-uncles in their WW1 kilts, but they got destroyed in a flood about 20 years ago.

Having said that, I have one of a cousin as a boy in 1922 in a kilt. I even have one of a great-uncle in the 1880s in, what looks like, a knitted 'kilt' of sorts with him being about 2 years old!

Thanks for sharing the pict. It would be great to see more people dressed that way today.

Extremely well turned out. A fine example of how the kilt is worn.
