ashley Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hhhmm very litle to go, just in case you don`t know i would have thought these were Scottish troops (centre rear man has tarten band on hat) Can you get better definition of the capbadge from the origonal photo if you have it could be Sutherland Highlanders.

AlienFTM Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 In good army tradition every one of them is sporting a porn tache. By the 1980s they were beginning to pass out of favour (maybe because of associations with the Village People?). I only shaved mine off after I had started in my current job so it must have been about 1998-99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm sure you looked more like seventies footballers. It's difficult to put a locale or ID much. Jocks probably, India maybe. Give it time, more people need to see it. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recoil Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Lee Enfield, a bolt action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Could be a Lee Metford. Very thick furniture though. The trigger gaurd looks very small for a Martini action, so probably a bolt action. If it is a number one it must be post 1906. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
