Terry Posted 6 December , 2003 Share Posted 6 December , 2003 Some time ago we had a thread dealing with the popularity of various units with medal collectors. This time, how would people rank the popularity of the Scottish infantry regiments which served in WW1. In alphabetical order: Argylls; Black Watch; Camerons; Cameronians; Gordons; Highland Light Infantry; KOSB's; Royal Scots; Royal Scots Fusiliers; Scots Guards; Seaforths. My own feelings lean toward the Argylls, Gordons, Seaforths, and Black Watch but perhaps that is just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hussar Posted 6 December , 2003 Share Posted 6 December , 2003 Are we talking just 'Regulars' here? If so, I've always had a leaning towards the Cameronians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted 6 December , 2003 Author Share Posted 6 December , 2003 Yes, I know I should have tossed in the TA units, then London Scottish, Liverpool Scottish,etc., but I thought to start with just the regular line infantry units. To date my 14 Star collection includes trios to the Cameronians, Highland Light Infantry, Black Watch, Royal Scots Fusiliers, and Gordon Highlanders. Great units one and all.

paul guthrie Posted 17 December , 2003 Share Posted 17 December , 2003 When I was in Gallipoli last year a member of our party found a badge, shoulder I think of Scottish Horse near Lala Baba, got to be a pretty unusual one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
