While John and Ian are diligently debating the puttee issue off the
List, I have decided to toss out the next trivia challenge.
Question Number 2 - What were the Tartan patterns for the CEF battalions
that had VC winners with Scottish/highland connections?
While the photographic references display an almost random distribution
of kilts and trousers and occasionally trews for officers for these
soldiers, the former being with or without kilt aprons, I have yet to
find a definitive resource which matched kilt patterns by name to the
various CEF battalions. The best connection will be to confirm the
tartan patterns for the perpetuating Reserve battalions.
The battalions I need to confirm this information for area:
13 Bn CEF, Royal Highlanders of Canada --> Black Watch tartan
16th Bn CEF, The Canadian Scottish -->
42nd Bn CEF, Royal Highlanders of Canada --> Black Watch tartan
43rd Bn CEF Cameron Highlanders -->
There were, of course, other battalions of the CEF with
Scottish/highlander heritage, but these four have VC winners and that
makes them subjects of my current research.
Ideally, I need the clan name for the tartan patterns. The online
resources for tartans sort them all by clan name and I can‘t search for
it by the battalion name.
Thanks for any help or advice.
