Fascinating stuff about WW1 and some interesting pictures.

A troll through the WW1 books will throw up quite a few pictures of highland troops-dressed as they really were dressed.

Osprey a bit pop, and too many of their illustrations are ideal rather than actual.

Somewhere there is a picture of a kilted officer at Arnhem-and also John Masters makes an amusing reference in his biography about using the kilt of one of his officers as a light shield when in close proximity to the Japanese during the second Chindit expedition. Apparently the officer in question was not entirely happy at matches being lit under his kilt for the inspection of a map!

Whilst Roy Farran whilst serving behind the lines in Italy [SAS] makes mention of a piper being dropped by parachute whilst actually wearing the kilt.

A very real problem with all such research being that whilst army and even regimental regulations might be saying one thing-both individuals and sub units would in both world wars be on occasion doing their own thing.

Back in the 50's I saw members of the A&SH entering an operational theatre kilted, but do not know if they ever wore them on operations.
