16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) looking for info on old photo
I found this photo of my Grandfather and was trying to find out some info on it. I believe it was originally a post card but it has been cut into an oval shape and glued into my Grandmothers scrap book. I think the condition is to fragile to try and remove. My question of the photo are is this the correct uniform (kilt ,cap and jacket) ? What I can guess from the photo is not much. I can see that his boots look worn and dirty. He had been shot though his right hand and that had resulted in some loss of function. Hard to tell but his hand looks like it is sort of a weird position. I know that there were photo studios at the camps in Canada and England does anyone know if there were any in France and Flanders ? #427391 Pte. Purl Moore 16th. Battalion ( Canadian Scottish ) #4 Company. Present at Hill 60 (The Yepres Salient), Mouquet Farm (The Somme), Kenora Trench (The Somme), Regina Trench (The Somme), Vimy Ridge, Ameins and The D.Q.
