Group of Jocks @ outdoor studio (WW1)
A group of Jocks from at least 3 different regiments posing in an outdoor studio:
...note that two of the jocks (2nd from left & far right) have the lower skirts of their tunics pinned/tucked back to mimic the Highland tunic /sporran cutaway, like that of the soldier standing between them.

Thank you. The badge on the sporran & collar insignia were difficult for me to clearly make out (due to the size of the photo & my failing eyesight I'm afraid  ), hence why I'm unsure 
If anyone else can shed light upon this individual, or have thoughts on the subject, I'd appreciate & welcome the information.

I assure you Richard, that the service information that was included with the photo / provided for the gentleman is correct.
Other than that...
