George Middleton is my 8 th great grandfather. Many of the family are born , Married and buried in St Machar ,Aberdeen. Charles Gordon 1664- 1740 David Brownjohn (my Dad) is the gentleman standing at the back with his hands in his pockets I doubt that is Arthur Ryle as he was quite a bit larger of a man. He also did not become captain until 1905. The captain at 1900 was William Llewellyn Hacon. Produced by kitchen tala ware Also my father was awarded this same but I know very little about what regiment he was etc any advice or help would be appreciated kind regards terrymeager It's nice to see these old pictures.
