    1960s Movie Kilts

    So, this last weekend, TCM had a re-run of one of my favorite WWII movies, The Devil's Brigade. One thing that I never noticed before were that several of the soldiers from the Canadian army contingent were wearing kilts, not just the pipers.

    As many times as I have seen the movie, I am surprised that I never noticed it before.

    Not knowing anything about Canada, I must admit that I am kind of surprised that the Canadian military wore them for things besides their band formations.

    Canada is very much and very genuinely Scottish in much of its history, people & culture.

    It would appear that many things about Canada would surprise many people.

    I'd never heard of them, and when Canadians told me about them I thought they were pulling my leg.
