Default 16th Cameron Highlanders of Western Australia

I have 2 badges for this unit - WM and blackened

However I have never seen distinct collars like the 61 Queensland Camerons

Did they have their own collars or did they use the imperial thistle collars?

If so can someone post an image of some collars so I know what I am looking at

cheers

I guess it depends which hat badges you have whether they have a QC or a KC.

The last couple of collars very much resemble the Cameron Highlanders but are sitting on a boomerang shaped scroll inscrbed 16th Battalion.

Someone will have a picture for you, I am sure. I only have the earlier series again on hand to post at present which is simply a thistle. The hat badge that goes with those does not include the XVI.
