    Black watch uniforms

    I never thought about it before reading this group. I have a collection of Military items, some of which are British WWII vintage. Including 4 WWII Issue Lee Enfield rifles.

    What would a Black Watch uniform look like circa 1942-1945?
    What items would have been part of it, from dirks, to insignia?

    I may be interested in seeing what I can put together as it may make a nice display. ;)

    Any history and/or context would be appreciated as well.

    Two points:

    First, you need to decide whether you mean Battle Dress, Working Dress, Ceremonial Dress, or even Mess Dress - different levels of dress for each.

    Second, simply Google Balck Watch WW2 and you will get a host of photos that will guide you.
