Advice from servicemen and women?

I e-mail the Cameronian Scottish Rifles, My father served with them during the war, I asked if I could wear the cap badge on my Balmoral , I recieved a nice e-mail from the Secertery saying that I can wear the badge no problem to honour him. So wear the cap badge with pride

Arlen: There you are: wear the badge. I would recommend getting a rifle green glengarry, though, since that's what the Cameronians wore.

That's a great idea that I hadn't thought of.

I bought one of the green glengarries a couple years ago--a military surplus at the time--and it's a really nice alternative that you rarely see. They may be hard to find these days, but they're well worth the effort. You can find one here at a premium price--http://houseoflabhran.net/headwear.html-- but if you can find a suprlus item, it'll be cheaper. They look really good with the badge!

Good luck.

Balmorals, too, apparently:



I've had this one for years, but it will soon be winging its way to Arlen to help him complete his Cameronian outfit. I'm glad it has found an appropriate home - and Arlen is sending me a plain green bonnet in exchange, so I'll still have something to cover my chilly noggin...!
