Chinese-Scottish Tartan?

[Aldisimo]

Welcome to XMTS from the Lone Star State!

I love that Chinese-Scottish tartan. I think it's going to go on my list! Here's a non-kilt application for the lasses:

Wow, it's been so long I'd forgotten about this thread!

My point was that there were tartans associated with military units in China, regardless of who wore them or how they were/are worn. I'm a military historian by trade, and the Scottish Regiments of the British Commonwealth are of great interest to me, as well as the Gurkhas. My grandfather, who served in China during WWII with the US Army Air Force, was a great admirer of the Gurkhas.

But I should point out that the HKVDF and the old Royal HK Regiment were not all European in terms of membership.

Here is the web site for the Beijing Caledonian Society:

Apologies for mis-identifying it as a St. Andrew's Society.

He wasn't a Flying Tiger per se, but he was part of the 14th Air Force, which wore the "flying tiger" on their shoulder insignia. He was stationed at Xian and Chengdu.

There were Chinese members of the Royal HK Regiment, but I can't speak to the Shanghai Defence Corps - I believe most of its members came from the European Community.

Sadly I just reply more but it disappear because internet is wrong.

Dear Todd,Because Chinese people can't to discriminate Gen C.L.Chennault 's AVG and later the 14th Air Force,So they called all US flyman Flying Tiger in WWII,Even now.

Xian and Chengdu,Very great,You grandfather perhaps have some realationship with B29 bomber?

it's segregation between races in British militia unit in Shanghai at that time,In fact parts of Shanghai is colony.Mostly someone Chinese cooker ， servant and coolie service for British unit.That's why Chinese dislike British but didn't dislike US.

No worries, I understood why you used the term "Flying Tiger". Yes, he worked on B-29s, as well as B-24s and the P-61 "Black Widow" while in China.

Sadly, he passed away in 2005, but he would have loved talking to you about his service in China.
