The PLF would be something to remember I would think

As long as you sweep the pleats just before you hit your 4th point of contact.

Hi all. A picture of my great great grandfather John Peter Grant from Perthshire, Scotland. He was in the 79th Regiment of Foot from 1859 to 1869 (serving in India). While no-one in the family ever heard of him being a piper, there are pipes in this portrait and in a further portrait 10 years later. If anyone has knowledge of the ceremonial dress he is wearing, I'd love to know.

This is not really my vintage photo...but an interesting vinatge photo none-the-less

The child in the photo (with his father) is Wilhelm II of Germany ... later to be Emperor Wilhelm II during World War I (whilst his relatives 'King George V' of the UK and 'Czar Nicholas II' of Russia were also grand-children of Queen Victoria against Germany during WWI - the same years in which King George V formed the Windsor family to replace the German family name " "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" )

All I can say is that History is pretty darned weird ;-)

Sometimes these odd points make me wonder what the real story was ... the story aside from the "official story" presented to the masses.

Though George V and Czar Nicholas II were cousins, Nicholas was not descended from Victoria. It was Nicholas’ wife, Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova (née Alix of Hesse and by Rhine) who was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. But to show you how intermarried these royal families were, Nicholas’ mother was Dagmar of Denmark whose sister Alexandra was the wife of Edward VII of the UK and whose brother George was the grandfather of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The First World War looks like a family feud that got out of hand.
