Can anyone identify the soldiers badge?
WW1-era portrait, it's hard to figure out who the studio was who took this photo, but it does seem to be a Glasgow (Scotland) studio
She looks fabulous in her outfit...
Reid from Shoulder to Shoulder described his look as one of shell shock (perhaps just back from the war?)

vintage photos, I just love the feel of them,
plus it's a little history

A lovely portrait. Their expressions are so
typical of the pictures from that era of
soldiers with their wife, sweetheart or
mother. The man so often has that far away or
melancholy stare while the women look proud
and happy. By late 1916 even most new
recruits had an inkling that they were being
fed into a meat grinder. For those on leave
or recovered from wounds, the prospect of a
return to the trenches must have dominated
one's thoughts.
