Gent's "LOOK" for Church & Buffet - Puffer

[Panache]

Officers of Scottish regiments carried walking sticks ( what an American would call a "cane"). They would carry the stick on parade hooked around their arm behind the elbow and held in the hand. When the RHR left Hong Kong I believe sticks were carried by the officers. I could be wrong, but I certainly remember a film clip of some of the garrison bording a troop ship with the officers carrying sticks.

Apologies for Puffer for taking this off topic perhaps we should make this its own thread? (Then again Puffer is a stick fancier so he should weigh in )

Sanford,

Would these canes be like the ones sported by the officers in the film "Tunes of Glory"? As I recall they were simple bamboo crooks.

Cheers

Exactly, Jamie, except most were ashplants.
