Barnes, writing in the 1950's, gives:
5th Batt (Victorian Scottish Regiment) : Gordon
16th Batt (Cameron Highlanders of Western Australia) : Cameron of Erracht
27th Batt (South Australian Scottish Regiment) : MacKenzie
30th Batt (New South Wales Scottish Regiment) : 42nd (Black Watch)
41st Batt (Byron Regiment) : Sutherland
So, each tartan of a Scottish Highland regiment was represented in Australia.
Are all of these Battalions still in existence?
