Cameronians Matched Pair of Theatre Made Embroidered Black on Khaki Drill (KD) Shoulder Title Slip Ons

The two regular battalions had become more close by WW2 but I understand that each still respectively referred to themselves as 'the Cameronians' (1st Bn - 26th Foot) and 'the Scottish Rifles' (2nd Bn - 90th Foot). This rivalry was so intense, the 2nd did not wear the title but the tartan patch. Both are in very good condition, a spot of glue to the reverse of each.

The 1st Battalion, which had been in India at the start of the war and was initially commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Galloway, was deployed to Burma as part of the 1st Burma Brigade in the 39th Indian Division in 1942 and saw action in the Burma Campaign as Chindits. Rare.
