My own little Downton Abbey

While going through stacks of old photographs I found quite a few of my Granda from childhood right up to the end of his life.  He was born in 1916 and lived in Scotland at the same time Downton Abbey is set.  Since season 2 started last night I thought I would share some of his photos.

As a little boy with his mom (on the left) and her sister.

I am guessing this was taken in 1918, with his parents, my great-grandparents.

Again, 1918.  I can only assume there was a certain affluence as they had a camera.

Possibly 1918 again.  The sailor suit got a lot of use!

As a grown man with his grandparents, my great-great-grandparents.

My grandparents - It's hard to tell when this was taken...the clothes didn't change an awful lot through the years.  They would've worn the same clothes until they fell apart.  Very preppy indeed.

My Granda with his father.  Both were Cameron Highlanders.

Army buddies.  The one in the front must've been a good friend as he appears in quite a few photos.

With military buddies.  I suspect the one in the middle was very popular with the ladies.

Being sent home from WWII - their packs are dirty and they are holding discharge papers.

Here is our handsome soldier on the left...doesn't he look like....

...Doctor Clarkson

Two of my great-grandfathers were train engineers.

My great-grandfather.

I love this photo!  2 inch cuffs!

Have a fabulous day!
