St. David's Pleated to Center White Stripe

[O'Neille]

James - the St David's has no military connections whatsoever...no Welshman would be seen dead in it.

I did ask for opinions. It's good to know you were elected spokesman for all Welshmen. Although the tartan has no direcect military connection, the following is one example of a military and St. David connection:

The strong and enduring relationship between the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Welch Fusiliers date back to the time of the Boxer Rebellion in China when they fought together as a combined Allied unit.

Annual greetings and salutations have been traditionally been rendered on the occasion of the Marine Corps Birthday
and on St. David's Day, birthday of the patron saint of Wales. Of interest also is the origin of the American Naval mascot, a goat, which was originally given by the Royal Welch to the United States Marine Corps, who at that time came under the command of the United States Navy. At the time of the Marine Corps' evolution into its own arm of the service, they selected the bulldog as a form of distinction from the Navy, while the Navy retained the goat as its particular mascot.
