The attached image won't open for me (not the attached thumbnail). The glengarry looks like a Gordon's GG to me but I can't see any badge detail. The other image with the badge and hackle on the ToS looks more like Cameron Highlanders but the detail is very poor and I don't know if they wore a hackle.
What era was he, WWI or WWII? You might be able to get some info on the Forces War Records website.
Cheers,
Alex

I would go for Queens Own Cameron Highlanders or Liverpool Scottish (Cameron).

The first image looked like the Cameron's to me at first, I don't think they wore the hackle during WWII although authorised but took it I to wear during the early 50's.
I'd go with Liverpool Scots as the badge appears to have the additional scrolls.

Hi he was ww2. He was in india in 1944 and attached to 23rd Indian Division.
So after a bit of research I thought 1st battalion Gordon Highlanders.
its a shame you cant post better quality on this forum.

Ive a pic of him in his kilt and a close up of the badge attached.

cheers guys. much appreciated.

The badge appears to be Liverpool Scottish to me as well. The 1st Battalion took part in the 2nd Chindit Operation in Burma, 1944
