Cap badge, The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, 1914 (c)

The unit's badge depicts St Andrew with his saltire cross at the centre of a wreath of thistles. At the base of the wreath is a scroll bearing the title 'Cameron'.

This Scottish infantry regiment was formed in 1793 by Sir Allen Cameron of Erracht in Inverness-shire. It was initially composed mainly of volunteers from Cameron's Highland clan. It fought in many campaigns until 1961, when it was merged into The Queen's Own Highlanders (Seaforth and Camerons).
