I need a contact address so I can write to the records department of the Argyl and Sutherland Highlanders. To allow me to go beyond my paternal grandfather I need to know what name he used when he enlisted in the regiment c1890. Kathlyn

Hello Debbie. Go to your two messages and delete one. LOL Keith Kathlyn. Your best bet is to get his Records from Kew. That will give you a lot of background info - is he Scots. Scotlands people will then be the place to go. Good Luck Keith
