    That is an interesting article. Do we know if the Jewish Legion ever wore kilts as part of its uniforms?

    No. The Jewish Legion was attached to an English regiment, the Royal Fusiliers. It's a fascinating story, but it really has nothing to do with Highland kit.

    btw, the Colonel of the Jewish Legion: John Henry Patterson, DSO -- the man who shot the "man-eaters" of Tsavo.
