tory and her famed regiments.
Each regiment has its own tartan
or plaid, badge, motto, pipe tunes,
traditions and customs" he ex-
plained. He described several regi-
ments, including the Scots Grey.
"By tradition they rode grey
horses" he continued. "This habit
got bit awkward with the advent
of the modern rifle in the South
African War in 1900. They were
conspicuous targets and had to dye
their horses to blend with the sur
rounding country. In 1899 they
were in Palestine with their horses
but later when I saw them at e
Alamein they were mechanical and
using tanks" he added.
I'VE are very proud of our country
and our record in its defense" he
continued, "and at the present mo.
ment Scottish regiments are fighting
in Burma and Italy. A great many
OF them are waiting to take part ir
the coming invasion with you"
