Further details on the Cameronians Web Site:
I’m sure you will be delighted to know that on Sunday 13th November four Cameronians created another piece of regimental history. For the first time ever, these four gentlemen formed a small detachment to represent the regiment for the Armistice Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph and then joined the march down Whitehall. The gentlemen concerned were Ian Bilboe, Kenn Robinson, Tam Winters and Ray Anderson B.E.M. (see photo above). They were resplendent in Douglas tartan kilts and tartan trews, and marched along with great pride. They were an absolute credit to the regiment.
