A new arrival to the collection. A nice group to Regimental Sergeant Major James Gilmour, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
The most exciting bonus is the additional original paperwork and photograph which accompanied the purchase. I look forward to researching James. The only slight dissapointment is that the group is missing his victory medal. However, the small book and the original warrant papers and a WW1 MID clasp is most welcomed.

Dave...

Nice group to an RSM highlander. Look forward to your future biography of him.
Cheers Steve

Hi Dave,

Oh very nice; great group and I look forward to the write-up!

I'm a sucker for QSA/WW1 combinations; so much to research and discover...Good luck.
