Liverpool Scottish glengarries
These are pictures of the glengarries worn by the Liverpool Scottish during their existence and reflect their changes of title before the units eventual demise.
The first example had the badge of the 8th V.B. ( 1900-1908 ) which resembled a hpc but was usually worn without a crown. The second badge was the well known badge of the 10th Kings Liverpool's ( 1908 - 1937 ). This was followed by the Liverpool Scottish ( Camerons ) badge ( 1937- 1967 ). Next came the Highland Brigade/Volunteers badge (1967- 1992 ) as a Company of ( firstly ) The Highland Volunteers and then a Company of 5/8 Kings. When the old badge of the 10th Kings was readopted the blue hackle of the Camerons was used by the unit and this appeared behind the 10th Kings badge. Finally the badge of the Duke of Lancasters Regiment was worn on the glengarry by the Liverpool Scottish platoon of the Duke of Lancasters 4th (?) Battalion and the Liverpool Scottish cadets with a blue hackle. Both units have now sadly disappeared. The glengarry`s worn up to 1967 ( at least the one`s in my collection ) have leather edging whilst the later ones have cloth edging. Both the 8th V.B. and the 1908 pattern 10th Kings badges on the glengarry`s shown here have screw posts rather than lugs but most examples have lugs. P.B.

Hello Colin,
I don't know who put the hackles on the glengarries in my collection as it was not me, I will be interested to see what your friend says. I cannot remember where they all came from but the one with the Highland Volunteers badge on came from CSM Mick Plews. The hackle can be seen on the officers glengarry in the second photo. Peter

The blue hackle worn with the Glengarry reflects the relationship with the Cameron Highlanders who were granted a blue hackle for the ToS in 1940 and added the distinction to the cap badge post-war. The hackle, unusually, began to be worn with the Glengarry after it replaced the Balmoral as the No.1/No.2 Dress head dress circa 1960.
