UK 5th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders

Цена: 30 - 40 $

The 5th battalion was first formed in 1859, early in the Volunteer movement, by the Duke of Sutherland.
It took as its badge, the Sutherland Crest (the Wild Cat), with the proud motto "Sans Peur."
Its tartan was also the Sutherland, of black, navy blue, and green, similar to that worn by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.
When the Territorial Force was formed, the battalion had to change its name to the 5th (Sutherland and Caithness) Seaforth Highlanders.
However as a concession to volunteer and county traditions, it was still allowed to wear the Sutherland Badge and Tartan.
It is thus unique in being differently dressed from all other Seaforth Battalions.
The 5th Battalion formed part of the reconstituted 152nd Brigade in the reconstituted 51st Highland Division, and served in the Middle East, in the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, in the Allied invasion of Italy in September 1943 and then in North-West Europe.
The regiment amalgamated with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders on 7 February 1961 at Redford Barracks to form the Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons)
