Default Doctor Who - Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart

Evening Gents

The recently recovered ‘missing’ episodes of the 1968 Doctor Who series “The Web of Fear” feature the first appearance of Colonel (later General) Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, played by Nicholas Courtney. In it he is supposedly in the Scots Guards: is that borne out by the headgear he is wearing in the short clip on this link?:

It looks, to me, rather like the Glengarry currently worn by the Royal Regiment of Scotland with a generic ‘thistle’ badge attached. There may be better views available when the series is realised next month, but I’d welcome any comments on the authenticity (or lack of) of his headdress.

Thanks

Graham
