I have been going through an old photo album which has been passed down via my father and on to me for safe-keeping. The album contains many old photographs taken in the Middle East, where my Great Grandfather, a cavalryman, was stationed in 1938. I thought it might be a good idea to get some of this stuff on a hard-drive and try and figure out who's who. My nan has just helped me identify this portrait, taken in Edinburgh in 1939, so I've made a start at least! I was interested to see that his boots appear to be adorned with spurs, so I guess this confirms that he was indeed a horseman?
