THE ROYAL SCOTS

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] .

SIR,—The Association of Lowland Scots, of which I am Chs.ir. man, is in •course of publishing a History of the 17 Battalions of the Royal Scots Regiment during the Great War. It is proposed-to include in the book, which will be in two volumes, photographic groups of the officers of each battalion, taken at the time when they were on the eve of starting for the front. May I solicit the aid of your columns to make the fact widely known to surviving offic :rs, who may either be in possession of such photographs, or know where they can be obtained.?

All communications on the subject should be addressed to Mr. C. Maitland Smith, C.A., 4a York Place, Edinburgh, the Secretary of the Association.—I am, Sir, &c., EDW. T. SALVESEN.
