Royal artillery - edit: Cameronians
Hi,
Can someone assist me in specifying the unit of this Battledress? Shoulder title + Anti-aircraft command formation signs. But then there is the Tartan formation sign for the Queen's own Cameron Highlanders. I can't find any link between these two units. Thanks *If this is in the incorrect forum, please move it. I believe the insignia is original applied, see also the sergeant stripes that are white blancoed. Last edited by stef; 18-04-20 at 09:51 AM. |

Tartan patch
Is that not a Cameronian tartan patch?

Douglas tartan worn as a diamond, possibly 5/8 Cameronians which in 1938 assumed an Anti Aircraft role and 1940 transferred to the Royal Artillery as 56th Searchlight Regiment.

My bad, it is indeed the Cameronians Tartan on this BD.
I mixed it up with another jacket I was researching that is Queen's own Cameron Highlanders. |

The jacket is from 1945, so then we would be looking at the 125th LAA Regt. ? |

125 LAA Regt left Anti Aircraft Command in 1943. So BD is possibly post war. See the history in

The 125th LAA was under command of the 76th Anti -Aircraft Brigade. I can't find a specific formation sign for that Brigade.
Could it be possible they were wearing the AA command formation sign? |
