207411 Batman James McKinley Gunn British Army 5th Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) from:Bearsden My grandfather, James Mckinley Gunn, was a member of the 5th Scottish Rifles. A note in a book on this outfit states he was Batman to the Colonel.
He died before my birth but, having an interest in military history, my Grandmother passed his badges and books to me. I recently attended a Scottish festival in Bridgeport, West Virginia, USA, and found it unusual that no-one there could speak of this outfit. My Grandmother represented it as famous (maybe only to her). I would like to make contact with anyone with knowledge or an interest in this outfit.
