No definitely "53rd" David. I've just got a second opinion on that!

According to the Regiments.org site there was a 53rd brigade but it was a hostilities only unit and existed from 1917 to 1920. It didn't move from Tillicoultry, so maybe I should check the Alloa papers for more info on my grandads war exploits!
