Strathspey tartan -a misnomer

[Orvis]

I do believe those Grenadier caps are the ones featured in the article in Military Collector and Historian, and that someone has uploaded each page as an individual jpg on Pintrest. Of course the proper thing to do is join the CMH and buy a back issue, not just troll the internet for information........

Hi Luke,

I am a member of CMH and remember that article. A couple researchers (who were members of a Guards reenactment group in the NWTA) went to Castle Grant and were given access to the grenadier caps, even being allowed to take one apart and diagram its various components. I have a copy of the article around somewhere and will have to find it.

I was a member for a bit, but something had to give to make the student loan payments!

The Irish tailor in the 78th had enough superfine "Cabbage" from doing the officers uniforms that he made himself a fine regimental and tended to throw it on and go pass himself off as an officer at very inconvenient times!
