    Breaker Morant

    Everyone was asleep at my house Sunday afternoon which meant I had rare controll over the TV. I had never seen Breaker Morant before, but I know it did very well that year for awards and box office due to the awful Heavens Gate fiasco. My question is, did the kilted soldiers represent the Scottish Horse Brigade? and were they the Voulenteer regiment? I'd like to see how accurate my internet research is!

    No. Being a Yeomanry (cavalry) regiment, the Scottish Horse did not wear kilts. It is always been my understanding that the Highlanders in Breaker Morant were from the Cameron Highlanders.
