Sarawak Scouts
Can anyone tell me about the formation/unit which wore this, please? Anything on when and where it was formed, where it operated, when it disbanded etc, would be very welcome.
Whilst I have an example of the badge, I have never been able to find any information on it. Thanks in advance |

No, I haven't seen the information you linked before, so many thanks for guiding me to it. I've had a quick look through but need to study it as it is difficult to read when it is printed on such a background. At least I see the badge is shown in the article. It seems that their designation is Border Scouts.
Many thanks for your help. |

Thanks for the further info. As they wore the BORDER SCOUTS title above the badge, I have now listed them under that designation. I was told originally that the badge was worn by the Sarawak Scouts, hence my using this designation. I assume that they may have had some connection with Sarawak therefore. If anyone can add any further information, or confirmations, I would be grateful.

Sarawak Border Scouts
In First Division Sarawak in 1964/65 the only Sarawak Border Scouts who worked with the battalions with Companies on the border and Bn HQ at Balai Ringin wore as the only item of uniform a mid-blue denim long-sleeved shirt (like a Royal Navy AWD shirt) bearing on one arm only the shoulder title BORDER SCOUTS and the sign of the Hornbill. Exceptionally good men they were too.
