Photograph of George Buchanan in his Seaforth Highlanders uniform. Portrait photographs such as these might be taken at home before people departed on active service, or were taken in photographers’ studios overseas, away from the front line, and sent home as postcards. They were often preserved after the war as family mementoes. This photograph was enlarged and framed later to hang in the Buchanan family home. || Front
