Visiting my grandparents in the Bay Area, I found a copy of the May 1993 issue of the Free China Review containing this photograph. Left to right: George Leslie Mackay 偕叡理 (Jie Ruili), son George William 偕叡廉 (Jie Ruilian), daughter Bella 偕以利 (Jie Yili), daughter Mary 偕瑪蓮 (Jie Malian), and wife Minnie 張聰明 (Zhang Congming). [Notes: I may have switched the daughters. Chinese names are Romanized in the Mandarin dialect in Hanyu pinyin, because that's what I know. Nevertheless, Mackay's family would have spoken the Taiwanese/Southern Fujianese dialect.]

George Leslie Mackay was a Presbyterian missionary to Taiwan/Formosa, born of Scottish immigrant parents in Canada.

I found this picture online and no info accompanied it other than "Mr. Fulton" was handwritten on the back. I don't think I have ever seen this cuff style with five buttons. Perhaps I have never paid much attention to this before but only recall seeing Argyll and Braemar style cuffs in these vintage photos.

Radge, do you have any information on who did the 92nd Highlanders photo?

Looks like a classic Hill and Adamson photo, so I was wondering.

Yes it is, the photo only states the Regiment, year, and the locality I'm afraid. Incidentally Hill and Adamson's photo's have very few kilted subjects, most of which are military. Understandable I guess since their area of operations was mainly in and around Edinburgh.

Cheers.
