This is the first of a possibleseries of the Uniforms of WW2. This is Jock, of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers. This was a very respected and decorated regiment during World War Two. He is dressed as any British Soldier would be at the time, with P37 Web gear, a No.4Mk.I .303 Calibre rifle, and his "Steel bowler" (Helmet). World War Two is a subject of endless fascination for me.

Their pipe tune. Daniel Laidlaw, a piper of the KOSB, won a Victoria Cross during the battle of Loos in 1915. His company were shaken up after gas had blown back in their faces, and Laidlaw remedied this by marching up and down in front of the trench playing Blue Bonnets O'er the Border and the Braes O' Mar, all the while under machinegun and artillery fire. He continued to do so despite being wounded, and didn't stop until his company had stormed the enemy trenches.
A very decorated regiment indeed, in both world wars.
