Cap Badge - The Liverpool Scottish (Second Pattern) This badge, that of The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders with the addition of Liverpool Scottish on scrolls, was worn by The Liverpool Scottish from 1937 to 1967 when the 1st Battalion The Liverpool Scottish was disbanded and succeeded by V (The Liverpool Scottish) Company, 51st Highland Volunteers. The Cameron affiliation developed throughout the Great War and had been a very strong one since the beginning of the 1920's when Liverpool Scots began to be given Cameron Highlanders Army numbers. An identical badge was used, with screw-threaded lugs at the back,on the cantle of the silver-topped sporrans though some are still found with the badge of 10th (Scottish) Bn, The King's (Liverpool Regiment). The badge was worn in Tam O'Shanter (TOS) and in the glengarry, in both cases with the Cameron blue hackle ('plumes,blue' in the syntactically distorted language of the quartermaster's stores) since the use was approved by King George VI during the Second World War. A third lug may often be found at the base of the badge (behind the feet of St. Andrew) to secure the plume or hackle in its place behind the badge. The Liverpool Scottish, known diminutively as "the Scottish", is a unit of the British Army, part of the Territorial Army, raised in 1900 as an infantry battalion of the King's (Liverpool Regiment). The Liverpool Scottish became affiliated to the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in the 1920s and formally transferred to the regiment in 1937 with its identity preserved. Reflecting the Territorial Army's decline in size since the late 1940s, the battalion was reduced to a company in 1967, then to a platoon of "A" (King's) Company, King's and Cheshire Regiment in 1999. In 2006, the company was incorporated into the 4th Battalion, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border).
