And me also - McMurdo's the one who really made me want a pair. I think a few other members have some as well.
The Cameronians seem to have had a range of dresses from the pictures and paintings I've seen. I've never seen any millitary wearing Argyll or diced cuffs though... would be interesting.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Paul -- go to:
http://cameronians.org/gallery/gallery_action.html
And scroll down to the picture with the caption: "1st Battalion, Malaya 1950-53".
A depiction of said uniform by military artist Mike Chappell can be found in the Osprey Book "The Malayan Campaign 1948–60".

Very nice hose at a good price! The foot and leg portion of the hose appear to be black. Is this correct, Paul?

Yes, the solid colour is black.
