Hello everybody! I have got in my collection a 1940 ptn BD blouse badged to a major of the Seaforth Highlanders, apparently serving in the 7th Armoured division. I could not find an evidence of the Seaforth Highlanders having been part of the 7th Armoured division, I guess they were some time after the war? What alo puzzles me is that the BD blouse came with a pair of Mackenzie tartan trews, and the Seaforth Highlanders were of course a kilted regiment. That would make the whole outfit as belonging to a major of the Highland Light Infantry but Davies reports the HLI tartan flash as a SQUARE of Mackenzie tartan 1 3/4in x 1 3/4in, whereas the Seaforth Highlanders flash would be "an oblong of Mackenzie tartan, 3in wide x 1 3/4in deep". And the red stripe in the Seaforth Highlanders flash is vertical whereas in the case of the HLI flash is horizontal. What your advise, gent? The outfit was just put together? Have ever either the HLI or Seaforth Highlanders served under the 7th Armoured Division? thank you in advance for your knowledge, gents!
