I just did a little more searching and found an Oops ... I have some disappointing news for you Joyce. I found that photo again, shown in the Black Watch Pipes and Drums website ... and the names of the gentlemen are listed beneath. Bubsy's name is not there. The man your Dad thought was Bubsy has a different name for that man, "George Dunlop" and Bubsy's name is not listed at all. Maybe "George" looks very much like your Bubsy?

Its SO difficult to identify people in photos sometimes, especially the old black and whites. Anyways, see the photo in the link below and you'll see the names.

Do not give up hope though, as I would imagine that if in the Pipes and Drums, there will be MANY photos of them held by the Black Watch, especially Montreal, and other people and places. People do LOVE to photograph the Pipes and Drums, bands, parades ...

DO try the Museum and the Archives and ask them if it's possible to check if there are any information and/or photos with Bubsy in them. And don't forget to mention about the other two brothers, their names, etc ... and let them know you want their service numbers and records, info, photos etc. and go from there?
