Are you planning on a pre or post Dunkirk impression?

Hi there post Dunkirk ww2 1943

Okay. Are you aware that in almost all cases the Camerons turned in their kilts for Battledress trousers after the Dunkirk Evacuation? The only two exceptions I can think of are former Camerons who moved to other units, specifically Piper Bill Millin and Col. Tommy Macpherson, both highly exceptional individuals and both became Commandos. Specific unit pipers may have retained their kilts for ceremonial duties, but well behind the front.
Are you planning a generic Camerons impression or portraying a very specific individual? If the latter, learn as much as you can about them, and find any and all photographs and documents. That is what I have done for my USMC/USN impression, where I portray my grandfather with his original uniforms and equipment.
Sadly any Scottish troops should be indistinguishable from the other Commonwealth troops after Dunkirk. Battledress Blouse and Trousers, Ammunition Boots, and Tin Bowler (or Tam when out of combat).

48th Highlanders of Can. instead of 79th, but the badge can be changed out.
Good Luck!
