Wear Your Petticoat With Pride!

[James]

I am reading the Book Anti - Commando, which was part authored by General Sir Ian Hamilton: who himself was an officer of the Gordons and later their Regimental Colonel.

In it reference is made to: 'The Petticoated Lads': in fact the Gordons when engaged in a bayonet charge upon an Boer position!

Was up on Third Mesa on the Hopi Reservation a few weeks ago for one of their Kachina dances. Over a hundred men pounding on drums and dancing in unison. Elaborate ceremonial dress. Most men in a deerskin or leather skirt. About a half a dozen in true lace trimmed petticoats. Go figure...no way anyone would tease any of those proud men.
