The cap badge belonged to my grandfather who entered the Lovat Scouts in 1915. He went on to serve in Belgium in the Cameron Highlanders and Gordon Highlanders ultimately losing both legs to machinegun fire and shrapnel on the battlefield.

 

The photo shows some of his mates in the Lovat Scouts ca. 1916.

 

Your grandfather paid a very high price, as many during this war...

Interesting cap badge and picture, which one of the soldiers is he on the picture?

Ditto to Eric.

 

Thanks for sharing the picture! Would love to know which is your Grampa!

Thank's for your kind comments Eric and Stratasfan!

 

Grandpa was tough as nails but modest, he never complained in spite of the lifelong pain and discomfort.

 

I didn't post his picture although this was his photo and these men served in the Scouts with him. I wanted to show the cap badge being worn. The badge itself seems on the small side and, if experience is any indication, it's hard to find photos of the Lovat Scouts in full uniform.
