Now that is a good looking unit, notice the trouble taken to get all of their tam o' shanters slanting the same angle, and in the last row, the shouldered pipes are laying alike. Beautiful!!!!

If they played as good as they looked, they would be a butt-kickn pipe band

During the Indian mutiny the 42nd & the 79th were so reduced in numbers
they joined together to form a composite battalion.The Cameron badge is worn to commemorate this occasion. Ron. |

Ron's quite correct. I remember asking our P/M about this some years ago.
The tradition continues within the RHC today. Interesting how many BW traditions are perpetuated by the RHC... |
