    This is a somewhat odd photo I ran across who's only descriptor was "Scottish POWs WWI". Not nearly as nice a job of colorization as those earlier in the thread. It was on a site entitled "StrangeMilitary.com".

    Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I find the solid colored kilts of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders very interesting. Their sporrans look like they are "built-in" to the kilt like a pocket.

    These are amazing photographs, most interesting to see. My grandfather served with the Argylls through the first World War, he may indeed be in some of these images, my dad and I will be looking at them closely.

    Does anyone know where copies could be obtained, there is a museum here in Oban, Argyll which would find them very interesting.

    Truly amazing photos of a (at least in America) forgotten war. But one which the after affects are still felt today.

    Someone spent some real time and talent colorizing! Thank you for sharing.
