Hi James G,
What was your number at GBS? I was 7928. My eldest brother was 7204, next 7255, then my twin was 7927.
And would you mind grabbing me a tin of tartan paint?, Having a Long Wait and Painting the Last Post for me?
All the very best,
+ Anthony

The uniform consisted of Gordon Tartan Trews a blue high collar jacket with gold anodised buttons. There were no collar badges. The Glengarry was dark blue with a Gordon Tartan band Red bobble and of course the badge mounted on the left hand side on a red felt background. Good conduct upside down chevrons were worn on the left cuff. Boys were entitled to wear 1 for every six months of good service. Once they reached six they were replaced by a gold chevron and the issue of a Good conduct medal.
Once I work out how to upload photos I will post them
