The 91st Highlanders wore a distinctive cap badge with a Leopard as its central motif. The regiment was eventually retitled as the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders [of] Canada but kept the Leopard as the central device in its revised cap badge that was used during WW2. There was also a 91st Militia Regiment and a 91st Infantry CEF, who each had their own cap badge. Edited 7 February by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently - “the leopard's face** is based on the crest of Lieutenant-Colonel William Alexander Logie, the regiment's first commanding officer. ‘ALBAINN GU-BRATH’ is the motto of the regiment.” **there have been various renditions of the animal in insignia, but it’s definitely supposed to be a leopard as is made more clear on the regimental colour.
