Military 'complaints' about my balmoral

[Jock Scot]

One account says that after the US Rangers trained with their British Commando counterparts at the Commando school at Achnacarry, Scotland, the Rangers were authorized to wear the British Commando Green Beret with a "flash" or square of Cameron of Erracht tartan (Achnacarry is Cameron country) --- but it was never approved by the higher-ups.

I remember the Rangers well! They were a tough outfit, but they really disliked the combination of our midgies and rain! I well remember talking to a Ranger veteran,years later at the Commando Monument, who thought that the combination of those hazards and British instructors prepared him for anything! Strangely enough we dug up some live 30-06 ammo the other day which must have belonged to the Rangers as "we" used .303 ammo-----we find loads of that,still!
