Chinese-Scottish Tartan?

[macwilkin]

Hi,The Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Force and the Shangai Volunteers ,There are disappeared so many years after WWII.And The member are all european when they were activity.

The Hong Kong Police Pipe Band just dress trews and plaid,never dressed the kilt.Like the Royal Gurkhas Rifles pipe band.But some civilian pipe drums band are kilted .


What about the St. Andrew's Societies of Beijing?I never heared that.Who could tell me something?

Wow, it's been so long I'd forgotten about this thread!

My point was that there were tartans associated with military units in China, regardless of who wore them or how they were/are worn. I'm a military historian by trade, and the Scottish Regiments of the British Commonwealth are of great interest to me, as well as the Gurkhas. My grandfather, who served in China & India during WWII with the US Army Air Force, was a great admirer of the Gurkhas.

But I should point out that the HKVDF and the old Royal HK Regiment were not all European in terms of membership.

Here is the web site for the Beijing Caledonian Society:

Apologies for mis-identifying it as a St. Andrew's Society.
