Well, since it's a uniform, wouldn't a place to store your bullets be more realistic.CaptQuint wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 9:40 pmIt's a purseWestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 9:37 pmAny clue what's the significance behind that white thing at the belt with the 3 downword prongs?CaptQuint wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 7:56 pmYou are correctWestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 7:53 pmIt's kinda hard to tell with that photo and I'm kinda hazy on English regimental history, but that looks like the Scottish Highlander uniform.

Re: What is the oldest family photo you have?
mother fucker, it is a purse.
A Sporran is a pouch (Scottish Gaelic for ‘purse’). Now a decorative part of Highland dress, it was originally an everyday practical item. Made of leather or fur, it usually has more or less elaborate silver or other ornamentation, especially on the clasp or hanger. It is worn on a chain or belt around the waist, allowing the sporran to lie below the waist of the person wearing a kilt.

Interesting. Maybe made of fur from a particular animal killed in the young man's first hunt? Or something like that?Flumper wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 9:45 pm

Very very cool.beagleboy wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2020 6:26 pm My oldest is my great grandmother when she was 17 so it would be 1900. This is she and her siblings- no clue how they appear to have money since their grandparents were immigrants and their parents owned a small farm. She's middle row left. They likely spoke mostly German at this point and their English was almost certainly very rough. The town didn't turn to speaking English until 1941.

My Mom has a picture of my Grandfather when he was 12, with his siblings, and his Dad, taken on a ship in 1924 when they were immigrating from England to Canada.
