Riflemen in highland dress

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  'The Gay Gordons' The Gordon Highlanders were a regiment in the British army, it existed for a little over a hundred years before being merged with the Queen’s Own Highlanders in 1994. The regiment gained distinction in many military campaigns throughout their history from North Africa, France and Italy all the way to Singapore, India and Burma. Perhaps the most famous story from the annals of Gordon Highlander history is the story of George Findlater, a junior piper in the regiment. During an assault in what today is Pakistan, Findlater was shot in both legs and stranded in the middle of the battlefield. In order to keep his regiment inspired, Findlater continued playing the pipes – The Haugh’s O’Cromdale apparently. Findlater was awarded the VC for gallantry and became something of a national hero. But let’s leave discussions of war for another day, we have dancing to talk about. Source; www.scotlandshop.com/us/tartanblog/unleash-your-inner-tar...

  famous Scottish entertainer, hence the kilt

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  My grandmother had a Harry Lauder 78rpm record--I think it belonged to her mother. Harry's wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Lauder Mrs. Lauder was the former Ann "Nancy" Vallance, whose father managed a colliery in Lanarkshire. Listen to him here: youtu.be/OAtNk-yPoWs youtu.be/6X_3N6pcXBw youtu.be/vbM86eiczAg Lauder toured the US in 1915. If this photo was taken in late 1915, that was just a year before their only son John died in WWI (in late 1916).

• Pete (LOC P&P) said:

  pennylrichardsca: thanks for the information. We will update the record.

Unidentified Scotsman of the Caledonian Society at Warwick

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Warwick Caledonian Society is the oldest society of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and given that Warwick was established as a town in 1847, a 150-year milestone is a great achievement. Our band spent Saturday wowing crowds who had gathered from near and far to celebrate the Scottish culture. Source: scotspgc.newzletter.com.au/newsletters/scots-pgc-college-...
