Courtmont, no word back from the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Reserve Regiment- I begin to despair- but they could easily be photographed at the next Glengarry Games in Maxville and posted here in full colour. By someone that has a digital camera, unfortunately I still use a Kodak Brownie type unit.
Fashion note: The bonnets in the old WW1 era B&W photos are certainly larger than you can buy now. A year or so ago, I seized on what seemed to be a larger one in an Ottawa celtic store and was trying it on in front of a mirror thinking it was an authentic reproduction, only to be told, somewhat sniffily by the store's owner, that what I had on was in fact an item intended for women. (I think I had already decided that, based on the lightness and fineness of the materials, but I'm sure there are many stores that would have sold it to me anyway.) Anyway while that was a failed attempt at authenticity on my part-I would be interested in getting a era one if they are sold anywhere.
