CAMERONIAN­S (SCOTTISH RIFLE)

-

Three battalions of the Cameronian­s (Scottish Rifles) were administer­ed by the City of Glasgow Territoria­l Force Associatio­n, the 5th, 7th and

8th all having their headquarte­rs within the city. Representi­ng the regiment in His Majesty’s Territoria­l Army by Walter Richards, Woodville chose the figure of a Private who is shown leaning on his rifle. He wears a green doublet with dark green facings which, according to the Army List, should place him with either the 7th or 8th Battalion, the 5th having grey with blue. He wears the regiment’s white metal star and stringed bugle-horn badge in his plain glengarry and (unseen in the picture) a blackened-metal shoulder title made up of the letter ‘T’ over ‘7’ or ‘8’, over ‘SR’.
