Hello to all

Any idea which unit is this cap badge on a Tam O Shanter ?

Is it ww2 ?

Thanks

Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders or 79th (The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders) Regiment of Foot - 1793–1961

Thanks for your prompt answer

It use to be with "Cameron" instead of "Cuidich n Righ"

Any idea why mine is "Cuidich n Righ" ? maybe it dates the cap badge ?

Thanks

"Cuidich n Righ" [Help the King / Defend the King] was the motto of the Camerons during WWI. They are now 'The Highlanders, 4th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Scotland'. That change occurred in 2004 but I can't find out when the motto changed.

Personally I think someone has put two bits of different badges on the tartan.

i also think there are two seperate pieces
the man with the cross is from the black wtach/royal highlanders/Glasgow highlanders. probably form a collar
the other part is the scroll of the seaforth highlanders (missing the stag head) probably from a cap badge
