The Black Watch snipers photo is really nice. Do you know which Battalion they are from?

I knew the son of a Great War sniper who won the Military Medal. His favourite tactic was to get with in 400 yards of the German latrines. It brings a whole new meaning to being caught with your pants down.

Could be a recruiting sergeant judging by the crossed flags above the stripes.
