WW2 British Cameron Highlanders Black Glengarry

The WW2 British Cameron Highlanders Black Glengarry is a traditional military headgear associated with the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders regiment during the Second World War. The glengarry is crafted from black wool felt and features a traditional diced red, white, and black band around its lower edge. It includes black silk ribbon tails at the back and a black toorie (pom-pom) on the crown. The left side is typically adorned with a cockade and regimental badge (not always present in surviving examples). Worn as standard headdress by Highland regiments, the glengarry was an integral part of both parade and field uniforms throughout the conflict. Its design reflects Scottish military heritage and regimental identity, distinguishing the Cameron Highlanders from other units. This item represents a piece of original period uniform and offers historical insight into British military dress and organization during World War II.
