Can't go wrong with a kilt! :)

Answer 1

This is a photograph is of my Great Grandfather Alexander Grant who I believe was pictured here while posted to India. He and Margaret were married in Bombay in 1896.

He was a Sergeant in the 1st Gordon Highlanders (service No 2912), and served in India, Afghanistan, South Africa (Second Boer War) and Europe (First World War).

If anyone know of anything about either of their parents and ancestors, I would be keen to find out more.

Hello Jerry, thank you for uploading this picture, I nominated it for photo of the week out of a pool of over fifteen hundred uploaded photos. I can't claim the right to a Scottish clan, I'm mostly Dutch so I also won't be much help to you. We do however have a project dedicated to Scotland and since both of Alexander's parents were born there maybe reaching out to it may be of some help to you. I posted the link to it on your profile. Regards, Bill
