My grandfather, Harmon Dyson is standing on the far left. The picture was taken around 1900.

Hello bricketts,
Thank you for sharing a piece of your family history, I think it is very important that items like this survive for posterity.

There are 6 men in the photo all wearing similar attire. Does anyone know what 'uniform' this is?

Absolutely. Standard hospital issue for military patients at around the time of the Boer War, e.g. at Netley Hospital as well.

Thankfully they are not wearing a skirt like the bloke on the far right. Not sure what happened to the scottish folk? All that mist and heather must takes its toll. :evil:
