caption_attribution_description: English: You people have worked miracles with far less, but I somehow think that this beautifully kilted soldier may remain unidentified. What think ye? In case this is too much of a toughie, also upcycling a Munsterset photo that only ever got one comment... Date: Circa 1921 NLI Ref.: BEA32
context_page_description: A swagger stick is a short stick or riding crop usually carried by a uniformed person as a symbol of authority. A swagger stick is shorter than a staff or cane, and is usually made from rattan. Its use derives from the vine staff carried by Roman centurions as an emblem of office.
