It's unclear from the way it's worded whether it's the 6th Battalion Seaforths, or the 6th Battalion HLI, which is being excepted.
Maybe it refers to kilt's pleating of 6th battns?
Because we know that both 6th Seaforth and 6th HLI wore kilts during WWI... so maybe both of them wore knife-pleated kilts, and other Seaforths battalions wore box-pleated kilts, standard for them?
