Default Tallest and Shortest

Following on from the tallest thread,it appears to have been a bit of a tradition at Liverpool Scottish camps pre WW1 to have a photograph of the shortest and tallest members of the battalion together.
The attached photo was taken at camp at Caerwys in 1909 and is titled "The Long and Short "

A similar photo taken at Salisbury Plain in 1906 is in Hal Giblins book on the Liverpool Scottish "Bravest of Hearts"
P.B.
