Black Watch in Iraq

[macwilkin]

There is a very moving photo on the the BBC and the Scotsman's web site this morning of a Piper playing for the three Black Watch "Jocks" killed in Iraq last week -- I've posted it in the random pics gallery -- he's not in a kilt, but he does have his glengarry on.

Saw the pic before your post.. thanks for this. a very sad moment. Maybe we should get him a cammo Kilt.

I am very proud of our British partners and feel for their loss very deeply.

Thanks again I will never forget...

He doesn't need one...he has a Royal Stewart tartan kilt...that is what Black Watch Pipers wear! Besides, the camoflague wouldn't match -- that is British DPM Desert material. :mrgreen:

Last time kilts were worn in combat in the British Army was in 1940, with a few exceptions, of course...

Cheers,

Thanks Todd !.. but then here we have a US Marine who got his first Kilt from Amerikilt. I am sure we can find a cammo to match the Brits and although it would not be "Traditional" this guy from the Fife District would not be insulted I am sure. Only encouraged.
