    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.
