A video clip was posted on Facebook a few days ago entitled Scottish Gun Crew 1945. It shows a crew of a 5.5 inch Gun all wearing the blue Atholl bonnet, so I presume they must be Scottish Horse. Watching the clip I noticed a dark patch above the Sergeants chevrons. Pausing the clip showed it to be a square of (presumably) regimental tartan behind the brass gun badge. Further examination revealed a L/Bdr and at least one Gnr wearing the same tartan patch with a white metal device on it. I can find no documentation or other images for these devices. Has anyone any information on these, in particular the badge worn by the L/Bdr. Thanks Derek
Thanks TD that's my next step if I draw a blank here. I have already searched their archieved posts without success.
Could it be a trade badge? Based on the very flimsy evidence of this: https://www.facebook.com/1290971417...-79th-scottish-horse-medium/2455927011137307/ Perhaps it wasn't universal. Or should I say: ubiquitous?
Thanks for that Idler. On closer examination I do believe you are right about it being a trade badge. It could well be a brass Layers badge. The Facebook page seems to confirm that a tartan patch was worn but I would have expected the regimental tartan, Murray of Atholl in green instead we have what appears to be the Stewart of Atholl tartan. So a bit more research still needed.
