Old Photograph Highland Light Infantry Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of the Highland Light Infantry in Glasgow, Scotland. This was a regiment of the British Army from 1881 to 1959. In 1923 the regimental title was expanded to the Highland Light Infantry, City of Glasgow Regiment. The regiment continued in service, actively taking part in the First and Second World Wars, until it was amalgamated with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1959 to form the Royal Highland Fusiliers, Princess Margaret's Own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment. The HLI was also affiliated with a Canadian militia regiment: The Highland Light Infantry of Canada. The HLI was the only regular Highland regiment to wear trews for full dress, until 1947 when kilts were authorised. An earlier exception was the Glasgow Highlanders who wore kilts and were a territorial battalion within the HLI.
