Kilt Wearers Calendar

[macwilkin]

What about the last time the kilt was worn in battle? I cant remember the date but am almost possitive that it was the Cameron Highlanders somewhere in France in 1941??

What was the date cajunscot????

The Camerons wore the kilt for the last time in action at Dunkirk, from 26 May to 3 June, 1940.

You can see one of the kilts at the Clan Cameron Museum in Achnacarry, Scotland:

The 51st Highland Division fought on while the remainder of the BEF was evacuated at Dunkirk, and subsequently became POW's; during their tenure, the "Reel of the 51st" was created by Scottish officers:

You'll see a picture of a Kilted Cameron here.

Hehehe. Well, I had it almost right. It was the Camerons and it was WW2, after that I cant be trusted
