Tartan Flashes 1943
When the Army introduced printed arm titles in 1943 they quickly agreed that Scottish Regiments could replace them with tartan flashes, examples of which many Scots regiments already wore.
As officially approved items they were available through Ordnance channels and the attached extract from a May 1944 amendment to the 1942 War Vocabulary of Clothing etc list the flashes available at that time.
I am familiar with all of them except that for the 5th Bn Seaforths.
Can anyone illustrate a correct example for this battalion please?
