I somehow missed that you'd posted this Armand! @ d88mm1940 – the guy in the kilt is a Glider Pilot Regiment officer. Two of them, Captain James Ogilvie and Lietenant David Strathern (and at least one of their batmen) wore their kilts during Market Garden. |

Couple of famous photos of them on the road into Arnhem. Yes, glider landing was much less "exposed" than a parachute drop in that rig. The umbrella of course is also Market Garden, so maybe the Stens should now have a foregrip, but who will notice that? Let us face it, the kilted chap extreme left does not have one!

@ Deadhead – yup, that's the famous pic of the two officers in discussion with Lt Col Murray. Correction to my post above – Lt. Strathern was not "David" – his initials were "KF" and he was commonly known as "Jock". |
