I’ve made two recent purchases that I’m excited about. In prior postings I’ve mentioned a great uncle James Robertson who was a soldier in the Liverpool Kings (1916 – 1950). There is a division within the Kings called the Scottish Liverpool. They were kilted and comprised of Scots living in Liverpool.

On eBay there was a cap badge offered of the Scottish Liverpool of the WWII era. Well I was the winning bid of one and I show it below. Notice the St. Andrew.


The week before I had been in contact with my friends at Canterbury Pewter and acquired this kilt belt buckle. Shown here with my weathered SWK McKenzie tartan is the buckle and who should be on it but St. Andrew! The same week I learned that at the formation of the Scottish Liverpool their tartan was the McKenzie!


Can any of you familiar with this type of cap badge recommend the correct way to attach it? There is no pin just two small eyelets on the back.
