Hugh Fraser
Hugh Fraser, in the centre, was a telegram boy before the first World War, joined the 6th Seaforths, and became a postman at Kildary after the War.

Maybe he is one of the other two? The one in the centre looks like an Australian soldier.

The person on the right in the picture looks very like Dick Mitchell shown in picture #1282 in which I recently commented on. If it is the same person then I would suggest the date here is slightly out.

The Seaforth's headress and tunic are wrong for WW2. I believe the Tammy was replaced in the 1930s by the Forage Cap.

The Tammy, or the TOS as it was commonly known, was still in use in the 1980s. In dress uniform it was the Glengarry that was worn.

The Corporal in the centre is definitely a member of the Australian forces, although he might well be a Scot as many soldiers were first generation. The soldier on the right is a Seaforth (Mackenzie kilt)and the soldier on the left appears to be Black Watch (Government/42nd kilt). All three are circa WW1 and the soldier at left has two overseas service chevrons on his right lower sleeve.
