WW2 British Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Diced Glengarry

The WW2 British Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Diced Glengarry is a traditional Scottish military cap associated with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders regiment during the Second World War. The glengarry is constructed from dark blue wool and features the distinctive red, white, and dark blue diced band, representing the unit’s unique regimental pattern. The design typically includes black silk or cotton ribbon tails at the back and a toorie (pom-pom) on the crown. Metal or cloth cap badges were usually attached to signify regimental identity, though badges may not be present on all examples. The glengarry was worn as part of both parade and service dress, reflecting the Scottish heritage of the regiment. During the Second World War, the glengarry served as a recognizable symbol of Scottish military tradition and unit cohesion. Its form and pattern have remained an enduring element in regimental dress since the 19th century.
