Leigh I am sure you were right in that both the RGR and the RGR Reinforcement Company in the Royal Scots wore a rifle green beret, the only difference being that only the R Scots Reinforcement Company wore the tartan badge backing.

After I posted Post 34 I thought I’d made a mistake as the R Scots would not have worn the standard infantry navy blue beret because, as a Scottish regiment they would wear the Tam-O- Shanter or glengarry. Looking at the photo I posted, I think the beret is actually rifle green not navy blue. (I thought I had edited the post to remove “navy blue” but can’t have done it right!)

Apologies for my error.
