Kilties in the Zulu Wars?

[Ryan Ross]

If I remember correctly, the 91st Regiment of Foot, the Argyll Highlanders (later amalgamated with the 93rd Sutherlands to become the Argyll-Sutherlands) were in the Anglo-Zulu War, but I seem to remember they were in trews, not kilts, save their pipers.

Whew- Thanks for such a speedy response! Hmm... Trews aren't nearly so interesting. I suppose we'll have to keep looking into it, but it's sounding like George may have to choose another engagement in a similar time period, or pass on the kilts.

Any further intel that's floating around would find a welcome home here.

He could try the First Boer War. Forget which regiment though...

Quite a few kilted regiments in both Boer Wars, actually...

Gordons were certainly there and kilted.

Correct and Todd is correct too.
