    well it is sad, but it happens there are many units that come and go, it is sad that the ones in the UK with such a great history have to fall into the catagory.
    Look at the ANGLICO units of the Marine Corps they have come and gone and come back again.
    I know it is not the same but it is somewhat close.

    Scroll about half-way down the page and you'll see the badge I'm referring to.

    So they go from the crucified moose to the crucified cat. This is an improvement?

    True, Colin -- really, both badges are not "bad" looking badges per se, just the meaning behind them.

    That is the one thing I will give the Highlanders credit for -- the new badge they adopted in 1994 combined elements of the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforths & Camerons) and the Gordons, just as the Highlanders have used all three tartans (Cameron of Erracht, Mackenzie of Seaforth and Gordon) as part of the regimental uniform.

    Cheers,

    Todd
