  What about the tartan 'trews?

• derangedlemur said:

  The tartan trousers makes them lowlanders. Highlanders all had kilts. Hat man appears to be antipodean - I don't think anyone else got a slouch hat. He also appears to be wearing cavalry trousers. Puttees were gone by 1940.

• derangedlemur said:

  Are you sure it's not just some gang of lads living rough and dressed in army surplus?

• Niall McAuley said:

  derangedlemur If you look at the linked set, you'll see a load of tents and horses, all military style.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  derangedlemur Very sure! Have a look at the other photos in the series, especially this one which looks like a cavalry detachment.
