9 Commando
 

Imagination knows no bounds - this has to be a unique item to a veteran of WW1 who passed the Commando Course at Achnacarry (or maybe not)

A time traveller as well as he did it all in a Belgian battle dress made in 1961.

Ah that's a Sergeant Major rank combo
 

:)

Modern chevrons too.

It is a Dutch battledress.

Rgds, Thomas.

Neirynck-Holvoet is listed as a Belgian company so it is a Belgian made battledress.

You are right, the K.L. stands for Koninklijke Landmacht (Royal Dutch Army) though.

Rgds, Thomas.

We are both right. Its a bit like being in the coalition government. :D

The mind boggles!

Mind you ... talking about time travellers ... it always baffles me how 'wee Wattie' Admiral Sir Walter Cowan was awarded a bar to his DSO with the Commandos in the Middle East, having won his first DSO in the Omdurman Campaign of 1898 - a real character! Naval liaison Officer No.8 Cdo, later POW, repatriated, rejoined Cdo forces as Tom Churchill's Liaison Officer. All this after eventful WW1 experiences too - Jutland etc, and having retired aged 60 in 1931.

Not only modern chevrons but for the wrong dress; those are meant for the stone KD shirt (No.9 dress?)
