Default Aden - Federal Regular Army

Hello Eddie, Many thanks. A very nice set. I expect not many of them around these days particularly since the cap badges were not often worn outside of Aden.
The attached photos show the ever-popular Musheddah - even the Cameron Highlanders wore it when up-country. One photo shows a visit to 3 FRA in Dhala by the Force Commander, Brigadier James Lunt. Just found a couple of other photos which shows that the Arab officers also wore SD caps on very formal occasions. Also the British officers could, on these occasions, elect to wear the green and white side-cap - with badge. My memory is letting me down !!!!
