The Watch on Crete
Lads,
The Black Watch did NOT wear any kilts on the island. The Pipe Major did wear his kilt in action once but that was during the Toburk action in North Africa not on Crete.
Also, all the British (including the BW) and NZ troops wore P'37 BD with NO insignia while the Aussie troops wore their traditional 4 pocket service dress with bronze "Austraila" shoulder titles and the the "sun burst" collar dogs.
So no kilts on Crete but there will be a big "Crete" event in CA in 2011. They have a web site that gives the date of the event but not much else. As it is over a year and half away that gives you some time.
cheers,
Stephen
