Tartan Reference Guide
Hi folks,
I'm trying to make a reference guide for the swatches of tartan worn behind Worldwide Scottish Unit badges. I have a few already done as illustrated. Most units have a set or preferred pattern or position of the check worn with the badge and I'd like to try and document as many as possible. When done I'll Illustrate them with the badge on as well as without. If anyone has any pictures of these and the way which they were worn I would be most grateful. Regards, Bill

Bill,
An excellent idea. Here is a Liverpool Scottish glengarry badge with Forbes tartan backing. Despite what Gaylor says in " Military Badge Collecting " 3rd Edition, Appendix J,I have never seen the backing with "a diagonal intersection of white lines " but only as shown with the white lines running horizontally and vertically.

Great idea. I'd planned on putting together a photo library of tartans some years ago. including showing them in wear in "black and white" photos as an aid to identifying regiments from old photos.
Never got off the ground really.

  Government Tartan, as worn by The Calgary Highlanders. Correct swatch is cut at the intersection of the double green lines in the sett. Not always adhered to. Tartan is frayed at the edges, but examples are found where this is not done.  2Lt Mills, June 2008 (Calg Highrs photo) Lloyd Zwick, Mar 2006 (Ed Storey photo) Pte William Cary Brown, DCM ca. 1944 (Calg Highrs photo)
