    The webmaster of the Calgary Highlanders tells a story of having a thistle tattooed on his right leg, which caused the crew of "Legends of the Fall" much consternation, as it peeked above his hose. A number of the Calgary Highlanders served as extras portraying the 10th CEF in the movie.

    Sadly, the article, which was on canadiansoldiers.com, is no longer available.

    is this by chance the missing article?

    ON THE SET OF LEGENDS OF THE FALL

    It talks a lot about the Highlanders, and has numerous photos, including this one:




    ...as a side note, I hope he removed the glasses. From what I can tell they were non-period in style

    Also to read the other pages, the links don't work. So, I'm including links below to the other two webpages of this article:

    LOTF part 3
