Can you identify this Scottish regimental uniform
Hello,
I am hoping that there are folks in this group that can help with identifying which regiment this uniform belongs to.
Pictured is James Ritchie from Dundee, born 1878. We know he served in Calcutta, India, as he was married there in 1923, and two of his children were born there in 1923 and 1925. I've been trying to research his military career, but there are many James Ritchies... It would help to know which regiment he belonged to. Could it be the Gordon Highlanders? The jacket isn't quite right from photos I have seen online.
As he looks quite young in this photo, I will suggest this is from the late 1890s... but that is a guess.
Thank you for reading, and for any ideas!
