If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Footnote: The regiment was formed on September 13, 1903 and gazetted three days later as the 91st Regiment Canadian Highlanders. During the First World War, the regiment acted as a training unit providing 145 officers and 5,207 other ranks for service in the numbered battalions of the C.E.F., especially the 16th, 19th, and the 173rd Highlanders. The latter was broken up for reinforcements, much to the chagrin of its men. Although the Argylls perpetuate both the 19th and the 173rd, it is the former which provides the regiment its most intimate connection with the Great War. The 91st gave the 19th all four of its commanding officers and its Pipe Major, Charles Davidson Dunbar, DCM, a Pipe Major of international renown.As part of the 4th Infantry Brigade, 2nd Division, the 19th went from the mud and misery of Salisbury Plain, England, to the mud and blood of Flanders. The battalion saw its first action at Saint-Eloi in April 1916 and went on to serve on the Somme, at Courcelette, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Drocourt-Quéant, and the Pursuit to Mons. In December 1918, its pipe Band played a victorious Canadian Corps across the Rhine and into Germany. The 19th has had no official history published. The 19th Battalion (Central Ontario), CEF was authorized on November 7, 1914 and embarked for Great Britain on May 13, 1915. It disembarked in France on September 15, 1915, where it fought as part of the 4th Infantry Brigade, 2nd Canadian Division in France and Flanders until the end of the war and disbanded on September 15, 1920. The 173rd Battalion (Canadian Highlanders), CEF was authorized on July 15, 1916 and embarked for Great Britain on November 14, 1916. It provided reinforcements for the Canadian Corps until January 4, 1917, when its personnel were absorbed by the 2nd Reserve Battalion, CEF. The battalion disbanded on September 1, 1917. The 173rd Battalion was awarded the battle honour "THE GREAT WAR 1916-17". The 3rd Battalion, CMGC, CEF, was formed in France on March 23, 1918 from the machine gun companies of the 3rd Canadian Division, the 7th Machine Gun Company, 8th Machine Gun Company, 9th Machine Gun Company and later the 15th Machine Gun Company. It provided machine gun support to the 3rd Canadian Division in France and Flanders until the end of the war and disbanded on November 15, 1920. In regards to the Second World War, details from the regiment were called out on service before the actual start of the war on August 26, 1939 and placed on active service on September 1, 1939 as The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) (Machine Gun), CASF (Details), for local protection duties.
