    Awesome! Thanks for the links. My Mum's uncle James Robertson served with the Kings Liverpool 1917- 1950. The Liverpool Scottish was part of the Regiment.

    I purchased this great cap badge on an Ebay auction last summer.

    Great pic, Mael Coluim! Love those helmets.

    There's a great kilted war picture set in that same part of India in the '30's - "The Drum" (1938).

    I found a VHS of it thru Amazon. The US title was "Drums".

    What a wonderful picture & great looking badge!

    Here's an interesting one that I came across of a pair of British glider pilots who wore their kilts into the battle of Arnhem:
