Identifying Family Photographs from 1908-1918

Do you have an old family photo of a soldier but no idea what regiment he served in or when the photo was taken?

Join us for a unique and engaging talk on identifying family photographs from 1908 to 1918, with a focus on the Royal Scots Fusiliers and Highland Light Infantry. Our Uniform expert, Oliver Hunt, will guide you through a series of First World War photographs, showing you how to spot key details such as badges, rank insignia, and other period specific features that can help date a photograph.

You'll also get a rare, close-up look at First World War jackets from both the museum's archive and Oliver's private collection.

To finish, we will end with a special interactive section: Bring Your Own Family Photographs, and Oliver will help identify them on the spot. Whether you're a history enthusiast, researcher, or just curious about a photo in your attic, this is a hands-on opportunity to uncover the stories hidden in these wartime photographs.
