    I believe the kilted contingent is the Scottish Company of the SVC. The SVC one of the most unique units ever raised in military history. The Scottish Company wore Stewart Hunting tartan.

    USMC Historian Benis Frank compiled quite a bit of information and artifacts concerning the SVC, especially the Jewish Company:
