Any help would be amazing.

Unless the Scottish Rifles published a detailed regimental history, then you will have to do some hard research, I suggest newspapers and try and find some diaries by soldiers who were there by searching museum archives.

Thank you Adrian i really appreciate it.

Bulldog, I'd be very interested indeed to see those photographs. I know the area like the back of my hand and it's possible can help you locate the site they were taken.

Thanks Rob, I'm currently putting them in a small book on the Scottish Rifles during the second invasion, I'm sorry I can't really show them yet, it's basically a pictorial record of there movements. I'm sure your enjoy new finds like me.

Of course - completely see your point - I look forward to seeing it!
