    I have recently found another picture of his regiment that I thought I would share
    Any info would greatly be appreciated
    Thank you

    Lowland as in not Highland. It was a Scottish division. Originally a Territorial Infantry Division, then a Mountain Division, and then a Mountain Division that could be air transported, and finally used in Europe from late 1944 as an infantry division.
