that's quite amazing.
I know from much hard experience how difficult it is to get everything just right. It seems so easy to get 90% of the kit together, but oh that last 10%!
Interesting about the footwear. Ankle boots with no spats, eh? I know that was very common with Highland Dress at that time, in the civilian world, but offhand I can't remember a military unit's Full Dress being like that. Of course the London Scottish's uniform was unique and quirky in just about every way, so I'm not surprised at the footwear.
No dicing on the Glengarry initially? When was the dicing introduced? Happily for reenactors, Glengarries with the distinctive London Scottish/Toronto Scottish dicing are being mass produced as we speak in India or Pakistan- I see them at the Games all the time.
See you at Fair Hill! I'm going to be visiting from California, my first times at those Games.
As a piper, I would love to have the time and money to put together this kit! (The last time one of those sporrans came up for sale it was around $1500.)
