The Kilt At War: The story of the Highland Soldier at War
Speaker: Dr Tom Greenshields
Based on the original letters, diaries and accounts of serving soldiers and officers, Tom's presentation will describe Highland soldiers, and the myths perpetuated about their unique character and martial spirit.
He will describe the experience of the Highland soldier wearing the kilt, including its attraction for recruits, and their first introduction to the kilt.
Tom will explain what made the Highland soldier unique, and to what extent his experience was simply the same as that of the ordinary soldier.
Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
