    New military tartan

    The eBay search engine has had a busy week.
    In addition to the familiar Gordon, Black Watch, Seaforth MacKenzie, this one popped up yesterday:
    Canadian Essex.

    Looking through the Index of Military Tartans (British Empire and Commonwealth) online, it looks to me like the Stuart of Fingask, but there's no Essex listed there nor anywhere else that I saw.

    Any ideas as to the tartan?
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    What do you think, O'Neille

    Edit: Here is the Canadian Essex link http://www.regiments.org/tradition/tartans/mcgregor.htm

    How did I miss that? (Other than the obvious answer that it's 0130.)
    Well, at least I was close.

    Thanks.
