If you are a history buff and are passing through Kansas City this is an amazing memorial/museum, but be sure to give yourself a few hours to see it all.
A good friend of mine from my Civil War reenacting days is volunteering at the Liberty Memorial -- he does a Imperial German soldat impression. The Liberty Memorial is the only National memorial/museum to the First World War in the US:

If the tartan was Murray of Atholl, then the kilt most likely belonged to the Transvaal Scottish Regiment:

Did they have the battle-damaged Renault tank on display yet?
