The dicing represents a drummer or infantryman and a plain one represents a piper however the infantryman glengarry can change the base colour to something like a navy blue or dark green if desired and the torrie (the pom pom) can also chang colour
This Is just for military purposes I'm not sure about civilian side
Originally it was to distinguish between highlanders and regular infantry. Highlanders bonnets are diced regular line infantry got plain black or navy *depending on the era* and rifles got a forest green.
My grand uncle wore a diced (red, black and white) glengarry in 1916. He fought with the 1/5 Gordon Highlanders.
@@markalexander6517 I think the Gordon highlanders in ww1 did not have red black and white I think it was actually red dark green and white
Do you know from what period a navy coloured glen would be from?
@@Prost_Kamerads depends on what regiment but the solid navy means it's probably regular infantry and most likely from 1860-1880 however some regiments retained the Glengarry until the 1900s
@@wisconsinkraut3445 Thank you. I was just asking because I was issued a glen, and it's the only one in the whole regiment that's navy blue
Love the real McKenzie's I clicked on this video just because of the thumb nail !!!!
I play in a pipe band myself as a piper. The pipers wear the plain black glengarries and the drummers wear the diced glengarries.
Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders Glengarry red & white dicing.
Dicing stands out and made you easier to see and shoot in the wars
I'm old enough I feel like I should know them, but I didn't. Thank you for bringing The Real McKenzies into my life. They're great! Any more recommendations of good celtic rock bands? (Other than the obvious Dropkick Murphys). Also, how do you submit questions for these videos?
Flogging Molly, the pogues, the rumjacks, the o’reillys and the paddy hats. To name but a few
Historically, in the British military, the diced cap (whether Glengarry or Balmoral) indicated a Catholic regiment. Though the question of religion became insignificant over time, the dicing, as an element of the uniform, was passed down.
Fuck, I'm Baptist and I got a Diced Balmoral. Meh, I like how it looks. It just feels right.
so with pipe bands typically the plain black one is for pipers and the diced one is for drummers.
I have been a pipe band drummer for over twenty years and I can say that this is a common but no longer accurate impression. Bands tend to wear one hat.
