My Dad James Ormsby was in the Argyll's and it meant the world to him, used to go and meet with other ex Argylls in Paisley, he loved those days, never a regiment like it and never will be.
My great grandfather, John Glenn, served in the Regiment in 1881. I have photos taken of him from a studio in Gibraltar, on his way to serve Queen and Country. Those photos were my father’s pride and joy. He served in the 8th Army Air Corps in England during WW2. RIP, Edward Lamontagne Garrow.
My late husband was a proud Argyll.Served with them in Borneo,Aden and Northern Ireland.Then we came to Australia and he became an engineer.A very proud soldier.Joined at 15 in U.K. and retired at 55, but always an Argyll.
Found this by pure chance,was a chef attached to the Argylls in Edinburgh in the mid to late 1990s,best unit I served with in my 22 years,RSM was Shuggie Ballantyne,QM Jim Bain,CO was Lt.Col. (later Lt Gen) Graham,wonderful times.
Andrew McNally Argyll's 2nd Btn 1914 served in western front and in Salonika Greece wounded twice on different occasions, survived battles of Western front and Salonika , lived till he was 86 years old , a proud argyle , once an Argyll always an Argyll
Good to see the lads again . Hendy here piggy backing this man account . After Avery thing that happened with Rabb and all I still feel like an Argyle . Whiterock and Girwood were bloody great but Minden the worst posting we had EVER .
Does anyone remember a lad his name Jimmy Cooper came from Kirkcaldy he joined ash 1975 from the jock guards he and I survived the Guildford bombings we was in the horse and groom when it went up . He will b about 64/65 yrs old last I heard he was living in Germany
Nice to see the auld pictrues, the proper glengarry and not a fijian face amonst them, and before all you PC mob start about the racist thing, No Apology.
You clearly didn't watch it then did you big Joe (a Fijian) is in this he gave his life! A jock is still a jock regardless of their skin tone! numpty indeed you are.
