Default 9th Royal Scots - photos wanted
Afternoon,
I'm writing a not-for-profit history of the 9th Royal Scots and would be indebted to anyone who would share some photographs - specifically a good, clear photo of an RS cap badge - but anything 9RS would be appreciated.
I've a number of images of personnel as thumbnails (source identified) at https://neillgilhooley.com/9th-royal-scots/index/
Also there are many battalion images at https://www.flickr.com/photos/124517446@N04/?
Cheers,
Neill

Paul,
I would be interested, of course, but have no wish to put you out - only if convenient!

Hi Neill,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you, courtesy of Les Martin, the image attached is the SBP to the 9th, I'm sure you will notice the difference to a Regular Royal Scots pattern Plate.
If the image is not good enough for you to save pm me your email and I will forward them individually
Paul
