Liverpool Scottish, some interesting images

[figheadair]

The final image should need no explanation, not really for discussion, but I don't think it's right to start a thread about the Liverpool Scottish without at least one shot of its medical officer who preferred to wear the glengarry of the regiment rather than his regulation RAMC Cap (was this practice carried out by other Medical Officers attached to Scottish Units or just a personal bit of 'rebellion' by Chavasse?

Chavasse, one of two RAMC double VC winners, both MOs, out of only three VC and Bar ever awarded. The Citations for these non-combatant officers are humbling.

His wearing of the glengarry was not unique, nor is it today. The MO of a non-Army Medical Services' regiment generally wears the bonnet/beret of the unit to which he/she is attached, not just Scottish regiments but also the likes of the Guards, Paras etc.
