Hi Dan The unit did make a decision late in 1944 to become a Highland unit and it was approved by National Defence HQ on April 1 1945 the new badge was not approved by general order unit Mar 1948 ... the Perths had been affiliated with the Scottish Cameronians since 1930 ... so it made sense for the change

thanks Brain
