It was raised in 1633 and has seen action in almost every campaign fought by the British Army since.

My grandfather was in The Royal Scots regiment and based at the barracks during WWII. On the back of the photograph it says S. Sarkis, Garrison Photograph, Kasr-el-Nil-Citadel Barraks, Cairo. I don't know who the other men in the photograph are and I don't know what the shield is that they are pictured with. Can anyone help me?
