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 |

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 |
