My old National Guard Infantry unit used to send a couple of soldiers each year to the UK to train with Territorial Army units, and in turn the TA would send a couple to train with us.

One year, we received only one TA soldier. I don't remember which unit he represented. Perhaps you can help me.

His uniform was standard MOD issue of the day, about 1996, as I recall. However, he wore a Tam as his head gear. The unusual thing about it is that he wore it pulled forward, giving it the look of a flat cap with peak or bill. Indeed when I first met him I thought he was wearing a flat cap in the style I learned to call a sports car cap, although there are many names for the style. He said it was customary in his unit to wear the tam in this manner. There was no badge on his tam, nor any tartan backing or other sort of thing you might see on other UK tams and balmorals where regimental badges are attached, as I recall. It had a tourie.

Any idea what his unit might have been?

For history buffs, my unit first deployed overseas as the 2nd Kansas Volunteer Infantry. The best of their day, and they remain so.
