British Army recruiting takes a new and bizzare turn....

Spotted in a shop today, one of the pipers from the new Meerkat Division.


And yes, that is a Cameronians badge on his glengarry. Perhaps the anorak in me should point out that a piper would have a different badge to that one...

  1. Can we forgive the meerkat's costume faux pas as he's not native?

    .....The anorak in me would reply - only if he was 1st Battalion. The 2nd Battalion pipers did wear that badge.

    1. See, this is why I try not to comment on badges or insignia...there's always someone who knows a lot more than I do!
