Spelling mistakes should be "fleas breeding" not flees breading. Sorry

hello,

2 Uncles In Gordons WW1 David and Tommy, Tommy had his hand damaged .
kilts were very heavy, my Unlce took over a load for a pipe band after WW2 whether they were real old I don't know .
I saw a picture and the men were given some kind of gadget to keep them warmer ..and there was a picture of them putting on ..I think they were like waders or some kind of long johns, an officer was there about 8 guys and seemed to be on a slope putting them on ! it could have been for the water as much as the cold .
