Thanks Michael.

Much appreciated.

I have to do another Cross Belt as I have very recently found out that the Plaid Brooch I display for the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Signals and the QEII Gurkha Pipes and Drums are not the same Plaid brooch.

Long story but after just over 50 years I have been in touch with the Junior Pipe Major that I played with in 1965. He kept his Plaid Brooch when he went into Man Service and it is not the same as the Gurkha Signals Plaid Brooch that I currently show.

I may be lucky enough some time in February to get hold of the JLR Plaid Brooch and hence have to change the site for the Gurkha Signals Pipe Band.

This means I need a new Gurkha Signals Cross Belt with the Cross Belt Badge as requested to change the site a little.

Nice problem to have really but it depends on whether I get the 1965 Plaid Brooch.

The two different Clan Grant Plaid Brooches are shown below. First is the Gurkha Plaid Brooch second is the JLR Plaid Brooch. Both Clan Grant but different.

I appreciate your help Mike.

Kind regards

Chris
