What are the cap badges please?
 
A studio posed Great War photograph, but what are the cap badges?

Thank you, Keith

Cameron Highlanders on left? Other looks like 9th Lancers.

Couldn't say for sure on the Scottish one on the left but I think the badge on the right could only be 9th or 16th Lancers. Almost certainly 9th Lcrs, as Leigh says.

I think 9L is a cert, however the other could be A&SH, I thought the CH had a diced Glengarry?

Cameron Highlanders don't have a diced band, but the A&SH do, red and white.

I'm veering more towards Gordon's now.......

Mike H 15-05-15 09:05 PM

I though the Gordons had a diced band too.

Mike,
I also thought the GH had a diced band red-white with a blue-black centre dice?

Gordon highlanders had a diced band, but didn't pipers from all regiments wear glengarries without dicing?

Rgds, Thomas.

I get confused re. dicing, it seems that all of the highland and lowland regiments other than the Cameronians wore both patterns depending on when worn. You read that a regiment wore dicing, then you see photos of them without and vice versa.

More often 'without dicing' when dealing with the Service Battalions of both Highland & Lowland units.

I agree with Graham - to simplify issues to the Kitchener New Armies many Service battalions were given a standard blue glengarry regardless of the normal regimental pattern.
Badges wise I think Camerons and 9th Lancers.
