WWI uniform

[beloitpiper]

I was wondering if, since there's a lot of history buffs on the boards, some of you guys could help me out here? I'm trying to get an idea of what would go into a WWI (maybe even an early WWII) Gordon Highlander's uniform. Does anybody have any ideas? Pictures would be great! I already found these.

No picture of the man himself,my grand father,but a picture that I have just taken of some of his personal effects that he wore in the trenches during WW1. He was commissioned into the G H in, I think 1912.Silver G H(hallmarked 1913) kilt pin made by Hamilton and Inches of Edinburgh, silver cuff links made by H&I,silver collar stays dated 1918 made by H&I, gold watch(Rolex)and chain and a marching compass.I use them all today,but I do not wear a G H tartan as I did not serve in that regiment.

Try the Gordon Highlander museum: http://www.gordonhighlanders.com
They might be able to help you with any questions you might have or even might be able to send you a few pics.
Good luck with your project it sounds fun!
