    He would frighten the deer away!
  • Nina Kuriloff said:
    He looks very fierce!
  • chelseagirl said:
    Oh, this is fabulous. There are so many songs about deerstalking in the Gaelic song repertoire. Now I have more of a mental image.
  • Northwestkathleen, animal lover!! said:
    His complexion reflects many hours out in the weather. Can't say much for his tailor though!!
  • graeme reid said:
    Northwestkathleen, animal lover!! I dont think his face and hands are weather beaten its dirt. Only joking, he certainly fits the bill as a man of the mountains.

    the 5th regiment, Royal Highlanders of Canada still exists in Montreal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Watch_(Royal_Highland_Reg...
  • Mark in NOVA said:
    That dollar per day seemed to be the big selling point.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Kilted Cowboy-- Thank you for the information about the Royal Highlanders. We will add some of it to the information when we update.
  • Kate McDonnell said:
    Notice the bad retouching on the boots bottom right. You often see very obvious retouching on photos distributed by news services.

    Wikipedia on General Sir Ian Standish Monteith Hamilton, who is most remembered for "commanding the ill-fated Mediterranean Expeditionary Force during the Battle of Gallipoli."

    www.stepneyrobarts.co.uk/457.htm has a longish biographical piece and a copy of an oil painting portrait. His papers are at King's College, London. www.kingscollections.org/catalogues/lhcma/collection/f-j/...

    It looks to me like this portrait was taken at the same time as the one on the right, only he is holding his plumed helmet in this one.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks to all of you for your great research. We'll fill in the caption the next time we update.
  • Heraldic Tyger said:
    This photograph must date between 1900 when he was made a KCB (see star and neck badge) and 1910 when he was made a GCB. In fact it probably can be narrowed further, he was on secondment to the Japanese army during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05) which is presumably when he was given the Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure 1st Class (sash and breast star).
