Calendar The Scottish Series: The 09/21 Scottish Society Monthly Meeting –Members Dinner In 2004 I took the family on a trip to Britain and Ireland. During our time in London we had the opportunity to visit the home of the London Scottish on Horseferry Road. Bob 10/19 Harman, then Regimental Secretary of the London Scottish hosted us on a tour of the Society Monthly Meeting armory and museum. We kept up correspondence until his retirement three years ago. –Making Haggis, It is a great facility and I recommend a visit if time permits.

The London Scottish: Most Londoners know the famous London Scottish, the 7th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, one of the regiments raised in July, 1859, at the time of the ʺInvasion scareʺ of that year. They were first raised among the ʺScottish residents in London and its neighborhoodʺ, and are still mainly recruited from the original source. The commanding officer of the was Colonel Eustace Balfour, a brother of the First Lord of the Treasury, and the corps muster between nine hundred and a thousand of all ranks, men of physique, bearing and soldierly qualities that are the admiration of all who have been brought into con‐ tact with them. Their uniform is grey with blue facings. The Highland Armed Association of London and The Loyal North Britons had been raised in 1793 and 1803 as part of the countryʹs Volunteer Forces ready to re‐ pel Napoleonʹs threatened invasion of England. These formations were later dis‐ banded and it was not until after the Crimean War that the countryʹs security Inside this Issue seemed again to be in danger.

Bn and supplied drafts to the two overseas. Two Victoria Crosses (VCs) and 19 Distinguished Service Orders (DSOs) were awarded to members of the Regiment and the total fatal casualties amounted to 1542. There are Three War Memorials in the Drill Hall, The South African Memorial shows all who served there and the other two list all who died in the two World Wars. It is the Regimental Custom to stand to attention for a moment, facing the 1914 ‐ 1918 Memo‐ rial, when entering and leaving the building as a gesture of respect to those who died in the three wars. In 1920 the 1st Bn was raised again on a peacetime basis and, besides taking part in all the usual Territorial Army military and sporting activi‐ ties, was represented at many ceremonial functions. Field Marshall Earl Haig was Honorary Colonel from 1919 to 1928 and was succeeded in 1935 by HRH The Duchess of York, who later became HM Queen Eliza‐ beth, The Queen Mother. In 1924 the Regimental War Memorial at Messi‐ nes was unveiled by His Majesty Albert King of the Belgians. It stands beside the road on the ridge just north of the town where the LS took its place in the front line on Halloween 1914. In 1936 the Regiment appeared in the Army List as a Territorial Bat‐ talion of the Gordon Highlanders. After Munich, in September, 1938, a 2nd Bn was recruited to peacetime establishment within 17 days, the first battalion of all the duplicated Territorial units to achieve this. In recogni‐ tion of this distinction the Regiment was privileged to provide the Sover‐ (Continued on page 7)

Permission was granted to raise a 3rd Battalion from those on the waiting list for the 2nd Bn provided it was a Heavy Anti‐Aircraft unit, and accordingly 97th HAA Regiment RA, TA (The London Scottish) was formed. A National Defense (NDC) 100 strong was also formed from Old Comrades of the Regiment. At the start of World War Two all three battalions were engaged in training and defense duties, the most satisfying service falling to the 3rd Bn which was in action throughout the Battle of Britain as part of the Anti Aircraft defenses of London. The 1st Bn went overseas in 1942, as part of 56th (London) and joined the Persia and Force in the area of Kirkuk. The Battalion, as part of Uniform of private 168 , joined the 50th (Northumbrian) Division circa 1930 for the invasion of Sicily and remained with them throughout this campaign. After the invasion of Italy, they rejoined 56th Division and served with them in both the 5th (US) and 8th (UK) Armies during the Italian campaign. They fought in all the major battles from the River Volturno to the crossing of the River Garigliano, the Anzio Bridgehead, the breaking of the and the subsequent fighting on the banks of the River Po. After crossing the Po, they formed part of the force which chased the remnants of the German army to Trieste where the Battalion became part of the Army of Occupation. The 2nd Bn, was denied active service as a unit although most of the personnel who served in it were drafted to the 1st Bn or to other units, often in the 51st Highland Division. The 3rd Bn was converted from static to mobile HAA and left for Egypt in December, 1942. It subse‐ quently fought through the Sicilian and Italian campaigns often being employed in a ground role instead of AA. It took part in the actions at Cassion, Poggibonsi, Arezzo and San Archangelo. One VC and three DSOs were awarded to members of the Regiment and the total fatal casualties amounted to 350 killed in one battalion alone. A large number of London Scots went on to take commissions in other Regiments, just as they had in World War 1. After the war the LS went into suspended animation, but many offi‐ cers and men were still serving at home and overseas and some sub‐ units such as guard companies were still holding together and wearing (Continued on page 8)

Regimental uniform. After several postponements authority was given to start recruitment for a new battalion on a peacetime basis on 1st May 1947. The reformed battalion consisted initially of an HQ Company, a Rifle Company and a Support Company and later, with a normal infan‐ try battalion establishment, performed the role of a Territorial battalion, firstly in 44th (Home Counties) Division, and later in 56th (London) Divi‐ sion. This continued until 1967 when the Territorial Army was reorgan‐ ized. In the Regimentʹs Centenary year 1959, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother presented new Colors to the Regiment at the Duke of Yorkʹs HQ and the old Colors were laid up at St. Columbas Church in Pont Street. Prior to 1967 the title ʺ51st Highlandʺ had been borne by the famous 51st Highland Divisionʺ, known affectionately as the ʺHighway Decora‐ torsʺ from its divisional conjoined HD sign and patch. Contrary to popu‐ lar belief the LS had never been part of 51st Highland Division, having been for the most part in one or other of the London Divisions. Reduc‐ tions in the size of the army after WW II, meant the 51st Highland Divi‐ sion became 51st Highland Brigade. At this time the ʺcrucified mooseʺ cap badge design came about, which in the early 1960s nearly became the common badge for the Highland Regiments in a move that presaged the 2005 Future Infantry Structure plans which resulted in the creation in 2006 of a single, multi‐battalion infantry regiment for Scotland, the Royal Regiment of Scotland. The LS provided, on a number of occasions, ʺGʺ Company to the Gordon Highlanders for annual camp training. In 1986 The Queen Mother presented new Colors to the 1st Bn.

The reorganization of the Armed Forces deriving from the ʺOptions For Changeʺ policy that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of East and West Germany, dictated that the LS could not continue as part of the 51st Highland Volunteers on grounds of distance and cost. This principle applied to the other far flung sub‐units ‐ The Scottish, also in respect of 51st Highland Vol‐ unteers, and the in respect of 4th Battalion, The , based in .

In London a solution was found in the formation of the only four com‐ pany multi‐capbadged infantry regiment in the Army. Taking the name of the 1908 London Regiment of which the LS had been the 14th Battal‐ ion, this new London Regiment comprised:  A (The London Scottish) Company

(Continued on page 9)

September 2009 www.saintandrewssociety‐sf.org Page 8 The London Scottish continued:

(Continued from page 8)  B (Queenʹs Regiment) Company  C (City of London Fusiliers) Company  D (London Irish Rifles) Company  HQ (Anzio) Company The Strategic Defense Review (SDR) of 1998 reduced the TA infantry from 30 Battalions to 15 Battalions. In London, this resulted in the merger between the London Regiment and 4th (Volunteer) Battalion, The

Regimental Headquarters, (RGJ). The official inauguration of the London 95 Horseferry Road Regiment, short title ʺThe Londonsʺ, with its own place in the Army List, was on 20th April 1993 with the issue of a Royal Warrant. This third incarnation of the London Regiment came into being on 1 April 1999 and consisted of six com‐ panies (as above plus 2 RGJ) Scarcely had the new regiment settled down, than the Army was faced with yet another re‐structure. Future Army Structure / Future In‐ fantry Structure was to create single multi‐battalion regiments in each Divisional area, with a single identity and cap‐badge for each of the new large regiments. The intention was to allow each battalion to be fixed in role (armored, mechanized, light, airborne) and geography. The TA in‐ fantry in each Divisional area would become part of the new large regi‐ ments, with the same cap‐badge and a clear role in support of its regular battalions. The London Regiment presented a problem for FAS / FIS, but the solution continued the innovation the London Regiment has estab‐ lished a reputation for: It would become the first TA support battalion for the five regiments of as part of the . In May 2006, the London Regiment was transferred from the Queenʹs Division to the Household Division. It now provides operational support to the Foot Guards regiments, but within the London Regiment there is a specific pairing of companies to the Guards: The LS is paired with the Scots Guards, the London Irish with the , the Fusilier Com‐ pany with the and the Queenʹs Regiment Company with the . HQ Company is paired with the . The LS has already welcomed new from the Scots Guards and bid farewell to a long association with the Highlanders and Gordon Highlanders before them. The new alignment within the Household Division means London Scottish soldiers wear the blue‐red‐blue Tactical Recognition Flash (TRF)
