I think the year would be around 1916 rather than 2009. (my distant relation Walter Matheson was in the 5th Seaforth Highlanders, enlisted and posted to the front in 1916 and killed on the 13th November that year)

Comment left on 26 December 2017 at 23:26 by MASIS PANOS Acknowledge an error in the year shown as 2009 when the photo was originally uploaded. Observation appreciated. The year has been amended to 1910 an 'Early' date assessment - the 5th Seaforth Highlanders was a Territorial Battalion in which Simon Mackay served pre WW1 Administrator
