Does anyone have photos showing the cloth battalion/divisional badges worn by any of the Highland Regiments that I could have to use in volume 3?

Gordons Horizontal Battalion Strips

I *THINK* it is one of the TF battalions but now I am second guessing myself and need to check

EDIT: Phew - yes 4 horizontal dark blue bars = 7th Gordons (153rd Inf Bde)

I have a couple one post war (of a group of Sgts with medals and HD patches) and I think a few with partials -- I'll have a look.

IIRC there is a picture of the 1/4th Gordons at Arras in the IWM images which shows them with light blue bars painted on helmets and I think also shoulder strips.

I assume you have the 51 Divs battalion marking scheme?

Here are the post-war Sgts (with 51st HD patches) and some other nice badges

Thanks Chris. I might use this photo in the introduction and will welcome any more you have.

Dave

Do you know which battalion they are?
