Cameronians...
Arlen,
Why not go straight to the source, as it were, and contact these folks:
http://www.cameronians.org/index.html
No doubt they can put you in touch with some former Cameronians who might be willing to answer your question.
Personally, if it were me, I would most certainly wear the Douglas tartan, but I would wear your cadet badge, that way you are making a link between your grandfather's service and your experiences as a cadet? Just an idea.
Lastly, let me just say that I tip my bonnet to you for wanting to honour your relatives service. My grandfather served with the American forces (US Army Air Corps) in the China-Burma-India Theatre, and he spoke of the British Commonwealth forces with nothing but great respect & admiration. The Burma Campaign is one story from WWII that is sadly forgotten; If you want to read one of the best books on British forces in Burma, I would highly recommend George MacDonald Fraser's Quartered Safe Out Here. It is one of the best WWII books I have ever read. Fraser, a Scot, served with the Border Regiment in Burma, and later served with the Gordons.
Good on ya.
Todd
