I would be very interested to find out. I don't think that they had their own. Maybe Cape Town Highlanders or Transvaal Scottish. They both did have their own. Regards Andrew

I don't think it is CTH, more likely TS. CTH buckle was a bit more ornate at the belt 'fastening' (?). I havve a TS one but unfortunately no photo available. The one I've shown is modern but the design is the same as far as I know.
Cheers,
Alex

Alex does the TS buckle have the familiar star shaped device to the center?

Hi Ron
Sorry, I really can't remember. I'll be home in a few days and will try to dig mine out and take a photo.
Cheers,
Alex
