Highland Light Infantry
Has anyone seen or for that matter have any cloth shoulder titles for the Highland Light Infantry?
I have never encountered either the white on red cloth title as worn by other Scottish Regiments or the black on Khaki slip-ons whether printed or embroidered. Or did they just not wear cloth titles? Rob

Rob,
The attached is an extract from Brian Davis` book on WW2 uniforms and insignia and shows Regimental designations of Regiments and Corps introduced by ACI 905 of 1943. Peter

It was Mackenzie tartan.
As per these badge backings but slightly smaller & of single, not double thickness. Last edited by leigh kitchen; 11-11-17 at 06:53 PM. Reason: Add image

I think the old frayed edged patches look far better than the modern merrowed nylon or whatever they are versions.
The same tartan was used by the Seaforth Highlanders as badge backing & "shoulder title" but with the red & white "cross" set as a diagonal on the square (various battalions have worn the cross vertical & horizontal, squares, rectangles, inverted triangles).
