Tunes of Glory

**Wompet** · 21st January 07, 05:16 PM

Okay, I just finished watching Tunes of Glory, and I'm wondering what tartan the battalion was wearing. The Internet Movie Database says the uniforms were surplus Cameron Highlanders, but looking at the Cameron kilts at What Price Glory and Bubba's WPG Cameron, the tartan doesn't look the same to me.

The only screen capture I've found so far (still looking for color):

Looks like the cameron here:

But the WPG seems to have a yellow stripe. Maybe times change, etc. Who knows.

Look at this site for info on the tartan like WPG's:

Who knows? Keeps us all guessing.

I think you're right. If you are not, I'll be shocked.

It may be a Cameron tartan but it doesn't look like the Erract to me.

That tartan shown is more recognized as MacDonald tartan:

I'm sure the exact thread count is slightly different, however it seems to be as much a Cameron Tartan as MacDonald.

Here it is as shown with your link:
